Yeah I meant the country sending the goods. The reality is no country pays. The consumer pays and he doesn't know that. He just stuck us all with a gigantic sales tax.
Here is a Fox News video from August 2023 where he details it.
But in case you missed that, it was widely reported on and even was a wedge Harris used. PBS from September 2024:
As president, Trump imposed tariffs with a flourish — targeting imported solar panels, steel, aluminum and pretty much everything from China. “Tariff Man,” he called himself.
This time, he’s gone much further: He has proposed a 60% tariff on goods from China — and a tariff of up to 20% on everything else the United States imports.
...
Vice President Kamala Harris has dismissed Trump’s tariff threats as unserious. Her campaign has cited a report that found that Trump’s 20% universal tariff would cost a typical family nearly $4,000 a year.
I do not mean this in a rude way, I am genuinely inquiring because I would really like to know, how is it that you didn't hear about that? It was one of the top things he talked about nonstop while campaigning, it was one of the biggest issues non-Trump supporters were constantly bringing up to try to warn everyone that this will literally destroy the economy.
