“Foreign goods may get a little more expensive. But American goods are going to get cheaper." That's a blatant lie by Commerce Secretary Lutnick. ALL affected goods will become more expensive in a tariff regime, irrespective of their origin. And he knows it, it's economics 101. How can these lies just go completely unchallenged in the reporting?
