The biggest increase is in the price of natural gas. The US is a net exporter of natural gas. But the US imports from Canada to serve the northern US and exports to Mexico to serve northern Mexico.[1] So there's cross-border traffic for economic reasons. More pipelines could eliminate this. Texas flares off unwanted natural gas.[2] Tariffs will provide an incentive to collect that. But they won't be built if the tariffs aren't long-term. That's a more general problem. Manufacturing and extraction won't come back to the US unless businesses are convinced this is a long term change, not a bargaining point. This action was taken under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.[3] That's temporary, at least in theory. It's the most expansive use of the IEEPA ever. There will probably be court challenges. The challenges probably won't succeed.[4] [1] https://www.eia.gov/naturalgas/archive/analysis_publications/ngpipeline/impex_map.html https://www.eia.gov/naturalgas/archive/analysis_publications...
