Yeah, except that Trump is probably expecting that if he slaps a 20% tarriff on Mexican goods that American firms and producers will jump in to produce those products since they can be competitive.
What he's trying to do i think is use the Tariff as a imaginary wall against the flow of cheap Mexican products into the States.
