1. White House aides have drafted a proposal that would levy tariffs of roughly 20% on most imports, The Washington Post reported Tuesday. The report cited three people familiar with the matter. It also said White House advisors cautioned that several options are still on the table, meaning the 20% tariffs may not come to pass. Do you think Trump will impose 20% tariffs on most imports?

2. Some economists have warned that the new tariffs could lead to slower economic growth and higher inflation, at least in the short term. There is also the possibility that countries issue retaliatory tariffs in response to the White House. The burgeoning trade war has appeared to hurt the confidence of investors, consumers and business leaders in recent months. Are you concerned about the impact these tariffs will have on the economy?
