In a recent interview with CBS News, Warren Buffett described tariffs as akin to an "act of war," reflecting on their historical usage and economic implications. He highlighted that tariffs, while a policy tool, act as a consumer tax and cautioned about their unintended economic consequences. The interview coincided with President Trump's announcement of imposing 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico, following failed negotiations over drug trafficking concerns at the border. Buffett, speaking during a documentary on Katharine Graham, chose not to speculate on broader economic outcomes, acknowledging the significant impact of his financial opinions.
