Tariffs are just price rises for the customer.
Very true but it could also cause goods made in the US or in the Americas to appear more competitively priced. I have some mixed feelings about tariffs but recall many years ago that the excise taxes on Japanese electronics goods made me look at USA alternatives since price after tax was comparable. Those tariffs would also be going into our coffers, hopefully to benefit our society, and not to bolster China economy and infrastructure
