Trump’s tariffs on China: What are they? How do they work?

(Carmen Richards via AP) Randy Richards, a 65-year-old farmer near Hope, N.D., poses for a photo Friday, May 10, 2019, at the request of The Associated Press, says the tariff war of the past year and a half has hit hard, and he was angry that more may be coming. Richards says he farms more than 6,000 acres of wheat, barley, soybeans, pinto beans and corn, and says tariffs have driven up the cost of the raw products he needs to run and supply his business and driven down the prices of what he has to sell.
