Tariffs delayed on cars, expected to raise prices on fresh produce

From NPR.

President Trump’s 25% tariffs on Mexican and Canadian goods mostly remain in effect, but yesterday he gave a one month reprieve to the big three U.S. automakers.

Other Trump tariffs remain in place on many other goods, including fresh produce. Prices are expected to disproportionately affect low-income families who need a larger share of their income to cover essential goods like food. Increased grocery bills may force these households to adjust their spending habits, pushing them toward cheaper processed foods.

More than 40 million people in the U.S. rely on government food assistance programs like SNAP and WIC.
