But it is interesting when a site like America.gov is programmed to answer simple questions about tariffs.

When asked to explain higher prices due to tariffs, the site offers the following answer:

"A tariff is a tax on imported goods. That extra cost is paid first by the U.S. importer.” Citing the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the AI wrote that "a tariff can raise the price buyers pay. Domestic goods that compete with those imports can also become more expensive."

This contradicts Trump’s claim that foreign governments and foreign companies are paying for his tariffs.

If only that "official evidence" could make its way into official policy.
