  • Americans do not believe that imposing tariffs on foreign products will help the US economy. Nearly half of those surveyed think that actions taken by Donald Trump could actually harm the American economy.

The article from MSN discusses the skepticism among Americans regarding former President Donald Trump's proposed tariffs on foreign goods. Despite Trump's claims that these tariffs would protect American industries and jobs, many experts and citizens are doubtful about their effectiveness and potential negative impacts. Critics argue that tariffs could lead to higher prices for consumers, provoke retaliatory tariffs from other countries, and potentially harm U.S. exporters. There's also concern about the economic theory behind tariffs, with some economists pointing out that they might not achieve the intended economic benefits and could instead disrupt global trade relations. Public opinion polls referenced in the article show a split, with a significant portion of Americans wary of the policy's implications on their cost of living and the broader economy.
