WASHINGTON _ The U.S.-China trade war is set to enter a new phase, one expected to be so costly that it will take away much of what Americans gained from the 2017 tax cut.
But experts say there is good news for consumers: the effect of the new tariffs slated to be implemented Sunday won't be felt right away.
"The impact won't be immediate. You won't all of a sudden be paying more, but it (the tariff impact) will trickle down to the consumer," said Melissa Miller, senior manager at the World Trade Center Kansas City, which promotes international trade.
