Fox Business host Neil Cavuto said Tuesday that President Trump was “lying” when he claimed that U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods had taken in $100 billion in revenue for the government.

In an interview with Senate Finance Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, on Tuesday regarding Trump’s trade policies, Cavuto asked: “He uses a figure to talk about, ‘The tariffs have actually been very good to us. We have gotten $100 billion from the Chinese.’ Do you know where he got that figure?”
