I came here to kinda ask the same question. From poking around, it seems like bringing back manufacturing of stuff to the US is not going to turn out the way Trump wants for the quoted reasons, add AI and automation plus the US being increasingly isolated from the global community, that this is not a winning formula.
My question is, considering some of these factors, why should we respond with our own tariffs? Why not just let them shoot themselves in the foot and tax themselves? We kinda know that in the long term, that things will not work out for them, so why tariff back and tax our own country. I'll admit it's kind of a basic question but is there something I'm missing?
