The next harvest of food products from foreign sources will be priced higher. Things like coffee, oil, spices. Already i noticed the fish counter had virtually no foreign fish, meaning mostly Norwegian origin. No cod, halibut, haddock, sardines, steelhead. Only things they had were Alaskan and Atlantic salmon, and lots of shrimp. Maybe that's all seasonal, but I think it's due to tariffs.

He'll raise tariffs gradually to the 145%.
