Tariffs could cost American households $2,400 each in 2019, a new study warns

"Trump’s Potemkin Economy"

* Tariffs stemming from President Trump's trade conflicts could cost Americans $915 each, or $2,400 per household, in the form of higher prices, lower wages and lower investment returns in 2019, according to a new study.

* If the tariffs stay in place, the study says, the losses would add up to $17,300 per household by 2030.

* The study, commissioned by the lobbying shop for Koch Industries and conducted by consulting firm ImpactECON, looked at the potential cumulative impact of tariffs.

* The conservative Koch political network has argued against the Trump administration's protectionist trade policies.
