Tariffs will cost families nearly $5K per year, Kentucky governor says
HENDERSON, Ky. (WEHT) — Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear is raising alarm bells over tariffs under consideration by the Trump administration, saying they'll end up costing American families thousands of dollars.
Beshear, in a message posted on social media, said the tariffs would cost an average family an extra $4,700 a year.
"That's months upon months upon months of groceries. That's months upon months of rent. That might be your entire annual deductible if you've got private health insurance coverage," he said. "No family will be able to get through that without being severely impacted and for those that are struggling to pay bills at the end of the month, it's enough to put you under."
