“President Donald Trump said Wednesday that children in the U.S. may just have to live with fewer toys if his trade policy results in store shelves going empty,” the HuffPost reports.
Said Trump: “Maybe the children will have two dolls instead of 30, and maybe the two dolls will cost a couple of bucks more than they would normally.”
USA Today: Trump acknowledges prices will force consumers to cut back.
