Why? Just buy American steel and aluminum and you don’t have to pay that additional cost. Plus shipping costs will be less

The point of protective tariffs is to increase the price of domestic goods. If a foreign competitor’s price goes up 25% then the domestic producer can command an about equal 25% price increase. The added revenue and profit should allow the producer to add jobs.

You pay the price of the tariff.

American steel has gone from $600 a ton a year ago to over $900 today.
