An economist Donald Trump cited in calculations for his extra-high global tariffs says that the president should get an F- in math.
University of Chicago economics professor Brett Neiman was a Biden-era Treasury official who wrote the research Trump has cited. In a New York Timesop-ed on Monday, Neiman described his initial shock at the initial announcement, still unaware that he was a major player.
“My first question, when the White House unveiled its tariff regime, was: How on earth did they calculate such huge rates?”
