While he was interviewing for the job, President Joe Biden demonstrated an acute awareness of how tariffs work. It’s worrisome that he seems to have forgotten that—or, worse, chosen to ignore it—since he’s been president. In June 2019, Biden correctly described the effects of higher taxes on imports.
