US tariffs have cost Americans $22 billion: Report

"Trade wars are good, and easy to win," US President Donald Trump tweeted in March 2018. "When we are down $100 billion with a certain country and they get cute, don't trade anymore - we win big. It's easy!"

But a new report says Americans aren't winning.

Since Trump made that comment and started imposing tariffs, the price tag of duties for American businesses and consumers has added up to nearly $22 billion, according to a report issued on June 21 by "Tariffs Hurt the Heartland", a national campaign against tariffs supported by more than 150 US trade groups representing agriculture, manufacturing, retail and tech industries.
