Anything that interferes with the free market has negative economic consequences - misallocating resources and distorting price signals.

Also, put a tariff in place and it either stays forever (even when market conditions change) or gets used by the left as a bargaining chip in future energy policy negotiations.

That’s the reason I wanted discussion, I have a admittedly simplistic view of it all. I would like to enhance domestic production and make it cost more for Middle East oil. I wouldn’t be for a tariff on Canadian oil. I would like to see the tariff go back to the states for infrastructure repair.
