Thus killing any attempts to actually bring manufacturing to the US.
Artificially Increasing the price of raw materials does not get people to build things here. This will drive more manufacturing away

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

MODERATORS
"Nobody's going to get around that," he said of the 50% rate. "That means that nobody's going to be able to steal your industry. It's at 25% - they can get over that fence. At 50%, they can no longer get over the fence."
This is so dumb. Imagine working in that industry and just looking on in exalted horror as your livelihood wanes while this idiot claims it's for your best.
Yet, they still vote for him and continue their support hahaha. No matter how much Trump fuck them they still continue supporting him.
except if you are the UK, then you can stay at 25% (at least until the orange turd changes his mind)
Crazy how all developing countries want to move away from exporting materials to selling industrialised products but the US wants to go back to focusing on them. Regression in every possible way
Well, Canada can export their ultracheap green Aluminum to the EU, they need it for aeronautics anyway...
courts already overturned Trump's tariffs, you could make a killing by importing and not paying the customs
The problem is that shipping by ship takes many days (weeks?) and the tariff landscape changes almost hourly, so you might ship expecting things to be zero because of court orders, but in a week, the court with sour cream, the taco supreme Court might decide that tariffs are okay, but they need to be bigger.
It's basically gambling. Trump has lots of experience driving his casinos into bankruptcy.
An appeals court left them in place.
UPS still wants me to pay
This will encourage recycling of infinitely recyclable materials. That's good.
It’s a great deal everyone is talking about it.
I don't see a problem with this
Fuck, not again! That guy needs lard dipped burgers with extra cheese.
