Maps: Where Trump Voter Jobs Will Be Hit by Tariffs (www.nytimes.com)

As President Trump imposes tariffs on products from countries around the world, foreign governments are answering back with tariffs of their own.

China has targeted corn farmers and carmakers. Canada has put tariffs on poultry plants and air-conditioning manufacturers, while Europe will hit American steel mills and slaughter houses.

The retaliatory tariffs are an attempt to put pressure on the president to relent. And they have been carefully designed to hit Mr. Trump where it hurts: Nearly 8 million Americans work in industries targeted by the levies and the majority are Trump voters, a New York Times analysis shows.

The figures underscore the dramatic impact that a trade war could have on American workers, potentially causing Mr. Trump’s economic strategy to backfire. Mr. Trump has argued that tariffs will help boost American jobs. But economists say that retaliatory tariffs can cancel out that effect.

Isn't it just pretty much this map

That matches the hue, but the added dimension is the saturation. Counties in brighter colors are more impacted by retaliatory tariffs, while duller colors are less impacted. The point is to illustrate that a higher proportion of impacted counties voted for Trump than if the impact were spread evenly, though the effect is not that pronounced. Statistically, people working in different industries tend to vote one direction or the other compared to average, but there are still both Harris and Trump voters in every industry.
