    "TOKYO -- Tariffs proposed by President-elect Donald Trump would drag
    down U.S. gross domestic product by 1.1% in 2027 via their impact on
    prices and employment, according to a Nikkei estimate.

    Nikkei commissioned a study on the impact of the proposed tariffs with
    the Institute of Developing Economies at the Japan External Trade
    Organization and added its own analysis. The study is based on the
    tariff plans announced by Trump on Nov. 25. These include a 25% duty on products from Mexico and Canada -- three-nation free trade agreement
    partners -- and an additional 10% levy on Chinese goods."
