CNN: Trump Won't Back Down on Tariffs, Because He Can't

CNN reports that Donald Trump is unlikely to back down on his tariff policies, as he believes they are effective and contribute to the recovery of the American economy, despite negative data and the Supreme Court's decision to block his tariffs. Trump, true to his stance, is announcing even higher tariffs, while creating backlash from Republicans who are concerned about the midterm elections. The Democratic side, in turn, is preparing legislative initiatives to compensate consumers for the cost of tariffs. Trump deeply believes in tariffs, sees them as a tool for regaining America's economic power, and refuses to acknowledge any negative consequences.
