    That’s the face value goal, if they were being honest and following classical economics. It’s entirely moot when tariffs are put on goods that can’t sufficiently be brought stateside.

    For example, coffee and chocolate.

      Yeah shifting production to the US is much more complicated than just making it more expensive to import things. Even when it’s on goods that can be produced here, I’m skeptical that any of these tariffs will result in increased production here.

        all you need to do is look at events like brexit, the companies just abandoned the UK and moved to europe. i suspect that will happen with some of the companies.
