The economy of Laredo, Texas, has boomed under the president’s global tariffs. Now, his demands may threaten its success.

Jamieson Greer, the president’s top trade negotiator, told the Senate that the United States remained intent on tariffs as it prepared to replace duties the Supreme Court struck down.

Investment in artificial intelligence and related companies is lifting the stock market and spending across the economy.

The president said punishing 50 percent tariffs would begin by Aug. 19, a significant escalation of the trade war between Canada and the U.S. that he started over a year ago.

The president’s new tariffs on a top U.S. trading partner aim at gaining concessions, but the Canadian government, and the public, have been bracing for the escalation.

The administration will use an untested legal provision to put significant duties on Canadian exports, reigniting a clash with one of America’s biggest trading partners.

Hundreds of thousands of people are creating companies each year, ending a decades-long drought.

Doing business in a more dangerous and unpredictable world will cost more, pushing up the price of everything from food to electronics.

The United States accused the country of unfair trade practices. The tariff will replace ones that the Supreme Court struck down.

The news of an improvement in consumer prices in June came as the U.S. and Iran escalated attacks, risking a return to high energy prices.
