Despite the best efforts from the White House to convince the nation that U.S. trade partners are happily paying for President Donald Trump’s tariffs, consumers aren’t buying it, apparently.
Some 70 percent of Americans believe that Trump’s tariffs have made them pay more for their purchases, according to a Harris Poll survey of 2,138 adults published Tuesday by The Guardian. The sentiment is partisan, too, as 77 percent of Democrats and 64 percent of Republicans said the tariffs made consumer costs somewhat higher or much higher.
