"The tariffs will instead be paid for by companies importing goods into the US and are often passed on to US consumers in the form of price hikes, a reality acknowledged by Trump’s own top White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow."
Let's see if I got this right. Importers pay a 25% fine (aka, tariff) to the Treasury for Chinese goods they import, the Treasury (through the Department of Agriculture) sends it to farmers and, we (consumers) pay a higher price to buy the goods. Thus, the consumer is bankrolling the farmers.
