Thank you for explaining this for those of us who are not financial geniuses…me included. I do know that the countries we export to have been charging US tariffs for a very long time. Like Japan, France and Germany. But most Americans have NO IDEA that WE have been paying tariffs for years. Somehow that fact needs to get out. Thank you again.
