Sorry, it’s not the country that pays it, it’s the companies that import things into the country and if you think America is the one that pays them then why did your pantywaisted PM or whatever the hell he is cry so much about them, you really have no clue do you?
Tariffs are typically paid by the importer of record, which is usually the U.S. buyer or their agent, when goods enter the United States. However, the economic burden of these tariffs can be passed on to consumers through higher prices for imported goods. I have not paid higher prices for anything that I buy, but I buy from American made companies that source from American companies

@Prison1203 And proving once again failing high school is a MAGA requirement.
I am sorry the average 9th grader has a better understanding of economics than you.
There is a reason Trump loves the uneducated.

@Prison1203 The importers are Americans and the consumers are Americans.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Trump is a proponent of tariffs, insisting that they are paid for by foreign countries. In fact, it is importers — American companies — that pay tariffs, and the money goes to the U.S. Treasury. Those companies typically pass their higher costs on to their customers in the form of higher prices. That’s why economists say consumers usually end up footing the bill for tariffs.
Still, tariffs can hurt foreign countries by making their products pricier and harder to sell abroad. Foreign companies might have to cut prices — and sacrifice profits — to offset the tariffs and try to maintain their market share in the United States. Yang Zhou, an economist at Shanghai’s Fudan University, concluded in a study that Trump’s tariffs on Chinese goods inflicted more than three times as much damage to the Chinese economy as they did to the U.S. economy. Now what ?

@Prison1203 erm...before you embark down this rabbit hole, worth knowing that the U.S. produces less than 1% of the coffee it consumes....which means they have to import the other 99%.....and the majority of THAT comes from one of the countries on Trump's 'hit list', namely Brazil....and Colombia....and Puerto Rico etc.
So if he thinks he can just tax the American companies importing it, without that same coffee producing company passing that cost on to the American consumer drinking it...he doesn't get it either.

@Picklebobble2 Not just that but economists are expecting productivity in the US to tank as people show up to work half asleep because they can't afford coffee.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Well, you raise another important issue.
Why has an entire country of 340 million been allowed to get 'addicted' to a substance most reckon they can't do without ??
Ok it's not in the same league as Fentanyl or opiods or marijuana...or maybe even tobacco.
But it's gotta be up there if you're talking addictions

@Picklebobble2 Very simple. We live in a society and the US in particular where anything that increases productivity and profit is good even if it destroys people.
Opiates don't improve productivity but a US pharma firm made billions creating the opiate crisis too.
