0:08Now PlayingPresident Donald Trump said people were "starting to learn" the benefits of his tariff regime as he sought to convince voters his administration was moving to address affordability concerns.
Trump argued that the tariffs had enabled him to provide aid to farmers and forced manufacturers to build plants and data centers in the US, saying "it's amazing" and "the smart people understand it."
Trump and his aides have acknowledged the need to sharpen their economic messaging, as voter sentiment on the economy has become a challenge for the president, with consumer sentiment remaining near the lowest on record.
