For example, a 200% tariff was put on Chinese aluminum 2 years ago and no American even batted an eye...
Was that the 200% tariff on Russian steel and aluminum that was expanded to cover steel and aluminum shipped through third parties like China and Mexico?

Likely no eye batting because it was focused on Russian material in response to their invasion of Ukraine.
