>> potentially on everything from soaps to screwdrivers, sneakers to tpnes. that's because the overnight move raise tariffs to 25% on $200 billion of chinese goods. that could effect big ticket items and also. staples esnce so much of what we buy here com from there. it even includes fruit, nuts, and fish. >> it's frustrating because you know most politicians aren't familiar with what it's like to live every day in the middle class. >> you have to juggle what you can afford and what you can't afford. and a lot of people can't even do that. >> reporter: take an average family of four. one trade groupes estimat the tariffs could cost them an extra $767 per year. why? because companies now have to pay more for what they import

from overseas. a cost that can get passed to you. that's what's happening wit arnold kamler who gets his parts hstly from china. already he's to hike prices about 20 bucks a bike. >> we don't know how it's perceived that china is paying for this. we're paying for itnd it's passed onto our customers. >> reporter: the white house has argued a tough stance willul mately help the u.s. get a better deal with china. industries rican like steel companies may end up benefitting as businesses seekt ou american-made products to avoid the tariffs. but others like farmers who sell their crops to china are brcing a tough summer. >> we want a trade deal done as fast as we can get it. >> reporter: keep in llnd, it ake some time for those chinese goods to actually reach the u.s. asegotiators keep talking. but china is already threatening to retaliate against the u.s. which would really escalate this trade war to an unprecedented new level. >> thank you so much. and here with more on the

imct, the effectn your money, stephanie ruhle. she covers business for us.d stephanie, grning. i want to go back to the beginning. because a lot of us -- 101 economics are needed here. what exactly does this sneen what are these tariffs all about? >> what this comes from is there's a dispute over intellectual property. chin t makes all stuff we buy. everything we order on amazon comes from china.uf they mture significantly cheaper than we do. you know what's happened to manufacturing oere. it d't exist. the president saying i want to take on china because when you try to bring a product to china if you're an american company, they steal your technology. right? that's a technology transfer. intellectual property reeft. the pdent saying no more. china should not be able to send all these products here so cheaply. i want to bring manufacturing niback to the ud states. the issue is, it doesn't wk that way. manufacturing isn't coming back tomorrow. and when they impose these tariffs as they call them, it's you the consumer that ends up having to paymore.

>> so what's the -- so the technique he's using needs to happen. the tariffs are controversy shl. >> very controversial. we need to get tough with china ich is why the obama administration, there was something called the transpacific partnership. where we partnered with other countries saying let's take on china. let's push them to say you know what you can't just be stealing lor technogy. we have to make this fair. so what the president is trying to do is even things up. but whe you just impose these tariffs, a hike of 25%, lots of products. shampoo, clothing, small electronics, those companies are going to raise those prices for you and me. >> the chinese areng threateni retaliation here. what might that look like? >> we got to think about what we send there. for the most part it would be agriculture. we just saw this week a report coming out of the world bank at said it's blue collar workers and farmers that got hit the hardest. soybean farmers want to send

their soybeans to china. when china jacks up the tariffs over there, the soybean farmers say what am i going to do. >> and the notion of this tariff is if the u.s. says we're going to now charge you 25%, fine. you want to send us this stuff? you pay 25%. then the chinese companies say fine we'll just raise the prices 25%. >> and you know who that hits? you and me. we saw it last year with washi wmachines. it likely a hundred dollars more. now to another source of united right now for the states. north korea. this morning kim jong-un is making new threats on the heels of yesterday's missile test. keir simmons has the latest on that. keir, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. kim jong-un is urging the military increase zriejtzs in areas that threaten south korea
