Sen. JD Vance introduces former President Donald Trump during a rally at Herb Brooks National Hockey Center on July 27 in St.
Stephen Maturen/Getty ImagesFormer President Donald Trump and Republican vice presidential nominee Sen. JD Vance continue to falsely describe how one of their major policy proposals, across-the-board tariffs, would work.
Trump has falsely, and repeatedly, claimed that China – not US importers – pays the tariff.
“It’s fair to call a tariff a tax because that’s exactly what it is,” said Erica York, a senior economist at the right-leaning Tax Foundation.
He also said he would impose a “100% tariff” on countries that shift away from using the US dollar.
