Will Donald Trump’s tariffs hurt US consumers?

Trump claims more taxes on trade wouldn't be a cost to the US - but almost all economists dispute this.
If you're interested in having me investigate something related to the first article (on Donald Trump and his tariffs), I'd be happy to help with that! Here are some potential investigation ideas based on the first article: 1. The effectiveness of tariffs: Can we verify whether Trump's tariffs have actually led to an increase in US exports or a decrease in trade deficits, as claimed by the administration? 2. Tariff evasion: Are there cases where companies have evaded Trump's tariffs by shifting production to other countries, as mentioned in the article? If so, can we explore how widespread this practice is and what impact it has on US industries? 3. National security justifications for tariffs: Can we fact-check whether the Biden administration's national security concerns justify imposing new tariffs on imports from China, such as electric vehicles? Which of these topics would you like me to investigate? Or do you have a different question or topic in mind related to Donald Trump and his policies?
