Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin said Sunday he doesn’t expect President Trump’s recent string of tariff announcements to have a large impact on the economy.
“I don’t expect to see a big impact on the economy. But again, I think what we’re doing is long-term very good for the economy,” Mnuchin said on “Fox News Sunday.”
Trump announced earlier this month that the U.S. would impose tariffs of 25 percent on steel imports and 10 percent on aluminum imports for national security reasons, in a move he argued would protect domestic workers and benefit U.S. companies.
Domestic and international leaders warned that such a move could spark a trade war, though the president brushed off such concerns.

Probably has a big impact on the portion of US citizens who are retiring at this time and soon.
One thing holds true. We can count on Republicans to devastate our futures. 
Well, that's what you get when you appoint an unqualified Wall Street hack as Sec Treas. Welcome back to the land of rising prices, high inflation and 12% mortgages.
