Economic growth expert Matthew Rooney explains how tariffs impact the economy and consumer goods prices.
Economic integration with Canada, Mexico, and the rest of the global economy produces enormous benefits for the United States. Free trade fosters innovation, productivity, and competitiveness in the global marketplace.
