People hear tariffs and translate that to “consumer imports,” so adding defense to the equation will then lead to “why are we importing defense components?”

Well it seemed like you brought in possible defense issues with giving a Communist nation the majority of our manufacturing and intellectual property because we can save $10 per iPhone which is why I responded the way I did. Defense is the only valid reason for government interference in foreign trade IMO but the government interference wouldn't be in the form of tariffs but more like prohibitions on certain products or info.
