🇺🇸 Do tariffs actually strengthen the economy, or are they just a hidden tax for citizens?
#торговаявойна🇺🇸 According to the Kiel Institute for the World Economy, 96% of the cost of US tariffs is paid by American companies and consumers, not foreign exporters.
➤ Tariffs actually function as a domestic tax, rather than a tool for pressure on other countries.
➤ Foreign companies rarely lower prices — they more often reduce supplies or refocus on other markets.
➤ As a result, imports become more expensive, and the costs fall on businesses and ordinary buyers.
➤ Foreign exporters bear only about 4% of the total burden.
➤ This means that the main money in the US budget comes from its own citizens, not from "external opponents"
