Usual story
I seem to remember Trump was the spawn of the devil for introducing such tariffs and was bent on destroying global trade. Now it appears to be perfectly acceptable to the lefties, including Europe.
The problem is, the West can't compete with China, especially as they have cheap energy, low wages and no welfare costs like Europe has. You'll still buy the imports but will pay more for them, i.e. pay even MORE tax. Which can then be pissed up the wall on more welfare, more green lunacy, more red tape, more civil servants - ultimately making it even harder for Western industry to produce anything useful at a competitive price.
