Duh. Of course prices will rise - on imports.

What rude is saying is that domestic manufacturers of widget A will will raise prices if the imported widget A is tariffed. What rude forgets is that NOBODY makes widget A in the USA anymore!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So demand goes down for widget A. Now the manufacturer has a widget A factory in China running at 50% capacity. What to do? Well they could blow the dust off of the mothballed widget A factory in Alabama and start producing widget A's in the USA again, what a concept!
