concluded, “When adding the tariffs in effect and the tariffs set to go into effect by the end of 2019 . . . the tariffs will cost the average household $2,031 per year.”
Bryan Riley, director of the National Taxpayers Union's Free Trade Initiative, agrees with Griswold. “The initial stated objective was to investigate China's practices regarding technology transfer, intellectual property and innovation,” Riley told me in an interview. “Some have suggested that the real purpose was to come up with a justification to impose tariffs. In any case, the result has been more tariffs and no change in China's practices.
