Yup you can do that, and its a logical way to proceed, if you can get by the NAFTA rules that are in place.
However, you put a tarriff on lets say food.
The Americans then retaliate by putting a tarriff on Steel products for example.
Then at the end of the day, all food prices have to rise, and peoples budgets get smaller including the minimum wage people.
