It will be the same with 'the wall'. The Orange Buffoon as suggested putting a tariff of stuff from Mexico as he thinks that this will 'make Mexico pay for the wall'. The only result is that prices in the US will go up as it is the importer that pays the tariff and they pass it on the the [US] consumer.

Meanwhile Solar Farms will bypass this tariff and will build their farms in Mexico and then export the electricity to the US.
