On Monday morning, a major US grocery wholesaler sent out a warning to the 1,100 American retailers it sells to: Get ready to pay 25% more for meat, mushrooms, tomatoes and other goods from Mexico and Canada.

Higher tariffs could worsen the squeeze on American families by increasing their taxes, lowering their income, and requiring them to pay more for tariffed goods.

Shoppers complain prices are up over the last 3 weeks and cannot fathom that tariff talks have them bracing for even higher prices.

A 10% tariff on Chinese goods is expected to take effect on Tuesday, while a 25% tariff was temporarily put on pause on Mexico and Canada.
