Yes, but the Carrollton production gear went in part to *Ireland*.

I'm for tariffs, but they must be thought through. Many years ago some company that made laptop LCD screens in Oregon lobbied and got a tariff on LCD screens from Ireland imposed. After the tariff, (I think it was Apple) just started having the whole dang laptop made in Ireland to avoid the tariff.

We also import Coca-Cola from Mexico in part because sugar tariffs make HFCS cheaper to use in U.S. Coke, but bottled stuff with real sugar from south of the border is not subject to the sugar tariff.

They should also not be used to allow domestic industries to become fat and complacent. Harley got a protective tariff in the 80s, decided to market retro and nostalgia instead of actually competing technically, and now they’re bleeding out as all their tech is 80s level at best and they’re running out of customers willing to buy their crap.
