Trump tariffs costing US consumers $1.4 billion per month, study shows

A new study finds the Trump administration's trade policies and tariffs reduced U.S. income at a rate of $1.4 billion per month by November.

The Federal Reserve Bank of New York, Princeton and Columbia conservatively estimate that U.S. tariffs cost American consumers at least $6.9 billion last year.

"Tariffs were almost completely passed through into U.S. domestic prices, so that the entire incidence of the tariffs fell on domestic consumers," the paper finds.
