U.S. President Donald Trump says tariffs bring billions. Anthony Moretti, an associate professor at the Department of Communication and Organizational Leadership of Robert Morris University, debunks the claim, pointing out that U.S. consumers bear the cost. China plays the long game, he adds, noting that its leadership in the electric vehicle market took decades of planning. "To fix the underlying problem is going to take far more than a tariff strategy," according to Moretti.
