Trump ’s tariff tactics carry higher economic risks than during his first term.

The trade war sequel that Trump introduced in his second term is likely to be a different matter altogether.

Trump appears to have grander ambitions and is operating in a far more treacherous economic environment this time.

His plans to plaster tariffs of 25% on goods from Mexico and Canada and to double a 10% levy on China Tuesday .

The impact of tariffs this time would likely be much bigger than in 2018-2019 , a KPMG economist says.

Trump 's first -term tariffs didn't make a dent, but inflation isn't so benign anymore.

The president is planning to impose what he calls "reciprocal tariffs'' and raise U.S. import taxes to match higher tariffs.
