## Summary

**Shines a light on the economic effects of recently announced tariffs on Canada and Mexico.** This bill would require the U.S. International Trade Commission to investigate how the President's announced 25% duties on most imports and 10% duties on Canadian energy would affect consumer prices, retaliation, and business uncertainty. - Consumers and households: The ITC would provide a quantitative assessment of price effects across food, energy, vehicles, housing, medical goods, apparel, electronics, farming inputs, and defense manufacturing. - Small businesses, farmers, and ranchers: The report would assess harms from retaliation, such as retaliatory duties and export restrictions, on these groups. - U.S. businesses and investors: The ITC would review how the threat of duties and ad hoc announcements would affect investment, jobs, contract cancellations, and producer prices. - Report details and timing: The ITC would remove confidential business information and deliver its findings to Congress within one year of enactment.
