Tariffs have emerged as possibly the defining aspect of Donald Trump's presidency and they're poised to make life a lot harder.

President Donald Trump said he is open to a higher tax rate on the rich in order to help workers, as he seeks to advance what he has previously called a "big, beautiful" tax and spending bill through Congress.

Trump made the statement Friday amid reports he told congressional Republicans to increase taxes on top earners to pay for other tax cuts he’s proposed.
