Donald Trump has reoriented American trade policy, imposing major new tariffs on some of the United States' biggest trading partners.

Some economists argue a global trade war could push the U.S. economy into recession.

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.

Canadian Premier Ford has suspended his planned 25 percent electricity tariff on Michigan , Minnesota and New York .

The three states are particularly vulnerable to Canadian retaliation in the energy sector.

Canada deliberately targeted Republican voting states with some of its retaliatory tariffs in a bid to bring the cost home to Trump 's base.
