Texas would be big loser in Trump trade war

Wednesday, February 8, 2017


Texas would be the biggest loser if the U.S. waged a trade war with Mexico over President Donald Trump’s proposal to build a border wall and impose a 20 percent tariff on goods coming across the Rio Grande, according to a new report by WalletHub.

“If and when the president’s plan comes to fruition, experts predict it will trigger a trade war between our two nations. But the impact of the economic fallout will be different for every state,” the WalletHub report states.
