Mr. Trump's claim about tariffs lowering taxes amounts to "an argument that says, 'If Americans pay more out of their left pocket, the government will be able to put more in their right pocket,'" said Joe Rosenberg, senior fellow at the Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center, another think tank focused on taxes.

President Donald Trump indicated that income taxes will be reduced or even eliminated for many people due to tariffs, with a focus on people earning under $200,000 per year.

Amid rising economic anxiety, US President Donald Trump suggested tariffs could lead to income tax cuts for those earning under $200,000. This proposal comes as polls indicate growing disapproval of Trump's economic policies.
