Why we checked itSpecific claim about a foreign tariff rate and a specific reduction percentage that Ossoff takes credit for negotiating — both figures are verifiable against trade records.
What we foundThe 100% India tariff on pecans and the 70% tariff reduction are confirmed by multiple independent primary sources, but the claim overstates Ossoff's sole credit — official records show it was a bipartisan, multi-agency effort that also prominently included Sen. Warnock and the USTR.
