"...at least with tariffs it will come out of other countries pockets instead of ours."
Not at all, it comes from my pocket because that tariff is passed on to me.
How is it NOT being passed to you now? you don't think everyone else puts a tariff on our products?
When a company wants to penetrate a market that has high foreign tariffs they lower the price of their widget. How do you think they make up the difference? They raise their prices in higher income markets that already have a demand for the widget. In effect you pay higher prices because of the tariffs other country's impose on our products.
