America First Audit — Tariffs as a Household Tax

Trump imposed a baseline tariff and higher country rates under emergency authority. The Supreme Court later held that the cited emergency law did not authorize tariffs; Trump replaced those duties first with a temporary Section 122 tariff and then with Section 301 duties on products from 60 economies. The two available household estimates describe superseded policy snapshots; the cited record does not establish a household-dollar estimate for the July 2026 regime.
