(The Center Square) – As a trade war between the United States and its neighbor to the north continues in escalation, Illinois is likely to be one of the most impacted states from new tariffs on goods. Experts in logistics warn that tariffs imposed by both nations will drive prices up and add an extra volume to an already encumbered global trade network.. New tariffs the Trump administration recently imposed are part of an effort to rebuild tariff revenue after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down President Donald Trump's emergency-powers tariffs in February and other temporary plans expired in July. Nick Klein, vice president of sales and marketing in the Midwest for international logistics company OEC Group, said new tariffs imposed by both countries will continue driving up the cost of goods in the state, as Canada is Illinois’ top trade partner – exporting roughly $17.5 billion in goods to the nation annually. “One [good] people might not think of is 80% of our potash, which makes fertilizer, actually comes from Canada. And another really big one is softwood that our home builders use,” Klein said. He also noted auto parts and production would be especially impacted in the Midwest, as parts of a single vehicle often cross the border multiple times before it's manufactured. The Canadian countermeasure tariffs of 15%, 25% and 50% on U.S. products, aimed at products and goods like steel, dairy, appliances, agricultural equipment, pulp and paper, and electronics. Each product's rate is set to match the U.S. tariff on the same goods, matching American tariffs on products dollar-for-dollar. Klein said neither side has much to gain from the escalation, but the U.S. may have more leverage to bring the tension to a close. “I don't see a comparable or close solution to replacing the goods at the same cost we get from Canada,” Klein said. “We buy 70% of Canada's exports. I believe they need us in the short term. They can't flip the switch and find people to buy this, because again, it's the reverse. The shipping for them to sell to other countries is going to be so much more so it'll make it less competitive.” He's not certain if the U.S. leverage is a positive for consumers, but the dispute is likely to add to the strain on logistics globally. “With the water level down and moving vessels that are half the size through the Panama Canal, we still have trouble with Houthis, and in the Suez Canal, and then we've got backups because of the tsunamis in Shanghai,” Klein said. “I think the big problem with supply chain is our other options are not going to be as close as our neighbor in Canada and not nearly as quick and not nearly as inexpensive.” Brett Rowland contributed to this story

En una exhaustiva entrevista para El Mundo, Quiles ha contado su experiencia en Ceuta, su dañina percepción de la comunicación y el éxito, además de anécdotas de su vidaLas causas que acumula Vito Quiles: denuncias de acoso a la presidenta de Red Eléctrica e injurias al secretario general de Facua El agitador ultra Vito Quiles ha tomado este jueves el rol de entrevistado en El Mundo. Dice sentirse “cansado de Sánchez” y que está deseando dedicarse a “otra cosa en la comunicación política”. A pesar de ello, Quiles no cesa en perseguir y asaltar por la calle a quienes él valora que se lo merecen, siempre políticos de izquierdas. Define su “trabajo” como “incomodar, formular preguntas, fiscalizar, perseguir, buscar, escribir”. Además, recuerda con malestar el episodio que vivió un par de días después de la entrada de migrantes en Ceuta, cuando organizó una concentración irregular en la ciudad autónoma. Los ceutíes acabaron por echarlo. A él, a Núcleo Nacional y a aquellos que viajaron a Ceuta para lo mismo. En la entrevista, lo reconoce: “Me fue mal, me hicieron correr”. Sin embargo, reduce la reacción de la población ceutí a “musulmanes radicales”. Acerca de la agresión a un periodista de TVE que trataba de conectar en directo desde la concentración de Núcleo Nacional frente al Congreso, el ultra lo define como un gaje del oficio en RTVE: “Sabes lo que hay si trabajas a RTVE”. Esa declaración se encuentra tan solo un par de párrafos debajo de la frase: “La derecha es más pacífica, con más talante democrático”. Vito Quiles, que se escuda en que los bulos los debe definir “un juez”, tiene cinco causas judiciales abiertas y dos procesos archivados, entre ellas, por un presunto delito contra el honor de un funcionario de Trabajo, del que dijo que Yolanda Díaz liberó de la cárcel. Además, se ha saltado el reglamento del Congreso en dos ocasiones, por las que se le ha retirado la acreditación de la cámara. La larga entrevista que contiene todas estas declaraciones incluye también diferentes anécdotas como el comportamiento de Quiles en el colegio, su extraño sueño con Rufián en una bolera o que no tiene amigos desde la universidad. Lo que está claro es que nadie se suscribiría a un canal de videoblog del agitador, porque su daily routine es bastante preocupante: “Me gusta escuchar a Abascal para cenar mientras me tomo un plato de jamón serrano y una cerveza. No me pongo Netflix. Es tan woke que es insoportable”
