In a heated broadcast, Fox News revealed a live scrolling list of items expected to surge in price under Trump's new tariff plan. The provocative segment ignited widespread outrage, particularly in red states, while Canadian officials critiqued the policy, warning of further economic consequences and a potential immediate counterstrategy nationwide.
Conservative television network Fox television made some viewers giggle on Sunday by listing a laundry list of products that could face price hikes as a result of President Trump's tariff plan.
In an interview with Republican senator and Trump supporter Nancy Mace, Fox News host Jon Scott said over the weekend that Trump's policies would affect "nearly every area" of the economy.
As the network continued to cycle through a list of potential damaged items, several prominent voices mocked.
Brian Tyler Cohen, a liberal analyst, weighed in, stating that the scroll on Fox was incredibly nasty.
According to the Tennessee Holler, if you're curious about what's about to become more costly, the FOX scroll will be helpful.
Max Flugrath, director of communications for Fair Fight Action, also shared with FOX NEWS a list of goods that will be hit hard by Trump's tariffs: crude oil, lumber, steel, shoes, avocados, ground beef, sugar, bananas, nuts, cooking oil, strawberries, pineapples, cucumbers, tomatoes, pineapples, bananas, cucumbers, strawberries, pineapples, Tonka trucks and toys, BMW, Audi, Nissan, Mazda, and Ford.
Historian Robert Bentley stated that it is quite awful when Fox News has a running scroll of products affected by Trump Tariffs, Tariffs=Taxes, and higher costs.
The Fox News anchor was cited by independent journalist Aaron Rupar:
"It seems like virtually every sector of the American economy' -- Fox News has put together a scrolling list of the 'goods affected by Trump tariffs.'"
Fox News focused on how Trump's proposed tariffs could increase prices on common goods, while Canada's answer came as Prime Minister David Robert Patrick Eby detailed a plan of strategic retribution against specific regions in the United States.
This exchange emphasizes the economic repercussions of international trade policies that are interconnected.
Canadian politician and lawyer Eby, who has been British Columbia's 37th premier since 2022, made an appearance over the weekend on Fox News to talk about the impending trade war between his country and the United States.
When the host asked Eby for his thoughts on Trump's accusation that Canada has been exploiting the United States, Eby was taken aback by the extent of collaboration between the two countries.
In addition, Eby was inquired as to why he pursued red states.
He responded by saying, "We have to fight smarter," after noting that they are significantly smaller than the United States.
