The Libertarian Party of Wisconsin has raised concerns over President-elect Donald Trump’s proposed tariffs, warning of potential economic disaster for the country. Press Secretary Tim Johnson stated that tariffs, like taxes, are passed on to consumers through higher prices. The LPWI is particularly worried about the impact of a 25% tax on imports from neighboring countries, which could lead to higher prices for gas and products made from crude oil. Johnson expressed hope that Trump’s comments on social media were exaggerated and not meant to tax all imports from Canada and Mexico. The party is calling for more clarity and details on the proposed tariffs before they are implemented. The LPWI’s stance reflects growing anxiety and opposition to Trump’s protectionist trade policies within the libertarian community.
