。President Trump threatened to raise tariffs from 10% to 25% on billions of dollars in Chinese goods, but he said he might also put new tariffs on another $325 billion in products that could include many consumer goods. The administration is preparing for higher tariffs on $200 billion in goods, but analysts say if Trump follows through with the other products, U.S. consumers will be the ones to pick up the tab on apparel, shoes, toys and electronics.  ation officials said Monday they were preparing to move forward on raising the tariffs on $200 billion in goods Friday to 25% from 10%. Wall Street still doesn’t believe it. Goldman Sachs economists said the chances of the White House putting tariffs on the remaining $325 billion are just 1 in 10. ---CNBC
