Why this verdict View evidenceHide evidence
Why we checked itEl-Sayed asserts a specific dollar figure that Americans are paying annually due to Canadian tariffs — a concrete economic claim that can be checked against data, though the figure itself appears garbled ('five thousand hundred dollars')
What we foundThe ~$5,000–$5,600 figure El-Sayed cites is the total tariff burden paid by Michigan importers divided by household count — not what each Michigan household actually pays — and has been independently rated 'Mostly False' by PolitiFact.
