as an economic sanction against unfair labor practices in specific nations. I think steel is one of them. It might have some benefit for American steel but not such a good thing for American industries that use steel. Some of this might be have an effect on labor practices in other countries but seems more symbolic than anything else.

If we had a gainfully employed working class the detrimental economic effects of higher prices due to tariffs might be easier to take but with America's week to week middle class it's be mostly pain and suffering and for many industries as well. And again just pure higher taxes would be better than tariffs as a good chunk of the tariffs will go to industries effected by them. Higher taxes should go to keeping government delivering the services and benefits they've promised to deliver.

Everything I've read has said Trump style tariffs are a bad idea. Americans get by because of low prices afforded by imported products and have for generations.
