U.S. President Donald Trump has acknowledged for the first time that American consumers may bear some costs associated with tariffs, though he maintains overall benefits outweigh these effects. This acknowledgment comes amid heightened scrutiny by the U.S. Supreme Court regarding his tariff authority. The President warned a negative court ruling could be devastating and indicated government is prepared to implement Plan B immediately. When asked about consumer burden from tariffs, Trump disagreed but conceded consumers ultimately contribute a portion of the costs. This admission potentially impacts future tariff implementation due to potential Supreme Court decisions.
