Trump Tariffs Could Hit These US States Hardest [Video]

Donald Trump has substantially reoriented American trade policy, imposing major new tariffs on some of the United States’ biggest trading partners, including close allies, with promises of more to come.

Many of the countries targeted have hit back with their own counter tariffs, some economists arguing a global trade war could push the U.S. economy into recession.

However, while every American state will be affected in some way, some will almost certainly be worse off than others. Trade experts told Newsweek the impact will likely depend on proximity to the Mexican or Canadian border, how reliant a state is on foreign energy imports and whether it is subject to countermeasures from overseas rivals deliberately targeted at red-state America.

Newsweek contacted the U.S. Department of Commerce for comment via email on Saturday outside of regular office hours.
