Claim by Don Trump: Foreign producers are paying “at least 80%” of tariff costs.

AP Fact Check rating: False
The Harvard Business School study cited found U.S. consumers bore about 43% of tariff costs, with most of the remainder absorbed by U.S. firms — not foreign exporters — who in turn pass the regressive taxes along to customers, to the Public at-large, further undermining the economy nationally.

Trump says tariffs have created an economic miracle. The facts tell a different story
