What do Americans think about Trump's tariffs?

On Thursday , President Donald Trump announced reciprocal tariffs for virtually every country.

Economists agree they would raise prices, and Americans agree that would be bad.

At least two-thirds of Republicans tend to support tariffs, while a larger share of Democrats consistently oppose them.

The numbers are still highly subject to change as Americans learn more about tariffs and their actual impacts.

Monica Potts : Many economists don't think tariffs would be the best tool for the things Americans do want, like increasing jobs.

Potts says tariffs would raise some revenue for the government, but it would be hard to make them cover the tax cuts Trump is proposing.

Trump paused his plans to impose tariffs on goods from Canada and Mexico , but do those countries' leaders know that the U.S. is still a solid trading partner?.

Tariffs on Canada and Mexico (especially Canada ) are particularly unpopular.

Americans don't want those tariffs to become actual policy, says Monica Potts .

Trump may just be threatening Mexico and Canada as a negotiating tactic, but it's not clear that he really achieved anything with them.
