Research from the New York Fed indicates that U.S. companies and consumers are bearing the majority of tariff costs, contradicting Trump's claims. The study found that 90% of the economic burden fell on Americans through November 2025. This is due to higher prices and the inability of foreign suppliers to absorb the costs.
