All source submissions that originally contained this claim.
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.
House Republicans, despite skepticism of tariffs, voted to maintain President Trump's control over trade policy. The article criticizes their inaction, highlighting the negative impacts of the tariffs on businesses and consumers. It argues that the Republicans prioritized appeasing Trump over their stated beliefs.
