One Year of Tariffs: How Americans Paid the Price
A deep dive into the real economic impact of Trump's tariffs, which cost US households an average of $1,500 more despite promises of increased national wealth.
When President Trump first imposed tariffs on a range of imported goods in 2018, his administration claimed that the move would boost the US economy and make Americans wealthier. However, a new study has found that rather than saving money, US households ended up paying an average of $1,500 more over the course of the first year of the tariffs.
The study, conducted by economists from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, Princeton University, and Columbia University, analyzed the impact of the tariffs on US consumers, producers, and the overall economy. Their findings paint a stark picture of how the tariffs backfired, costing Americans far more than expected.
