🇺🇸 BESSENT: "WHO PAYS THE TARIFFS IS A CHOICE"

Morning Joe: 

“Does the president realize that the consumer pays the tariffs?”

Bessent: 

“I'm gonna have to disagree with that. 

Who pays the tariffs is a choice.

What we're seeing so far is that manufacturers are eating a substantial portion of the tariffs and taking it into their profit margins.”
