The CEO of conglomerate Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A)(BRK.B) said that "prices will be higher 10 years from now, and 20 years from now, and 30 years from now." President Trump said last week that he plans to impose 25% tariffs on products from Mexico and Canada beginning Tuesday, and that the U.S. would raise double tariffs on goods from China to 20%.
