Trump, who has argued that China will bear the brunt of his tariffs, acknowledged during a Cabinet meeting on April 30 that the duties may mean fewer " and more expensive " products available for American families. "You know, somebody said, Oh, the shelves are going to be open,'" he said. "Well, maybe the children will have two dolls instead of 30 dolls. And maybe the two dolls will cost a couple bucks more than they would normally."
