U.S. President Trump Acknowledges Partial Consumer Burden from Tariffs

According to PANews, U.S. President Donald Trump has acknowledged for the first time that American consumers might bear "a portion" of the costs associated with tariffs, although he maintains that the overall impact remains beneficial. This statement comes amid scrutiny from the U.S. Supreme Court regarding his tariff authority. Trump warned that an unfavorable ruling could be "catastrophic" and indicated that the government is prepared to implement a "Plan B" immediately. When questioned about whether he agrees that Americans are shouldering the tariff costs, Trump expressed disagreement but conceded that consumers do pay "a portion." The Supreme Court's decision could potentially affect his future ability to set tariffs administratively.
