- Last year, the Tax Foundation found President Donald Trump's tariffs cost the average U.S. household $1,000, with costs projected to rise to $1,300 in 2026 if tariffs remain.
- Using the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, the administration imposed tariffs on imports from China, Canada, Mexico and the EU, targeting electronics, toys, cars and food.
- Researchers say the levies generated $132 billion in net revenue last year, studies show Americans absorb 96% of the cost, and the Tax Foundation called it the largest tax increase since 1993.
- For middle‑income households, the research shows tariffs erased between 70 percent and 95 percent of their tax cut this year, according to the Tax Foundation.
- The Supreme Court could issue a ruling as soon as Feb. 20 on the tariffs' legality, while the White House continues to defend the policy, citing economic gains, White House spokesman Kush Desai said.
