Trump has acknowledged for the first time that American consumers might bear part of the costs associated with tariffs, though he maintains that they will ultimately benefit. This statement follows scrutiny from the US Supreme Court regarding his tariff authority. Trump warned that a negative ruling could be catastrophic and indicated that the government is prepared to implement a 'Plan B' if necessary. Despite admitting that consumers might pay a portion of the tariffs, Trump disagreed with the notion that Americans should bear these costs. The Supreme Court's decision could impact his future ability to set tariffs.
