Fact Check: Harris-Trump debate: 12 statements examined​

Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris and Republican rival Donald Trump went head-to-head in Philadelphia on Tuesday at a high-stakes debate hosted by ABC News.

Reuters examined 12 claims made by Harris and Trump.

STATEMENTS BY HARRIS

CLAIM

Harris said economists project that Trump's tariff proposals would cost middle-class families about $4,000 more a year (timestamp: 09:05 p.m. ET).

WHAT WE KNOW

Trump has pledged, opens new tab tariffs of up to 20% on all imports and up to 60% on Chinese goods. Estimates vary on the impact of such tariffs on customers and the “almost $4,000” figure is consistent with the high end of some calculations available but is above others.
