Most people who are against tariffs prefer to only discuss the matter in one, single, isolated, context - the context of prices of consumer goods.
There are a dozen other contextual ways of looking at it, and I think Trump's is more holistic. I doubt he ever said, "tariffs will reduce prices". We already know that. I tend to be a fan of anything that makes America less dependent on countries like China. As long as I don't think the cost outweighs the benefit.

Canada announced 25% tariffs on the U.S. I'm confused doesn't that hurt the country implementing them? Or does it only affect the U.S. negatively?

Did you happen to notice that they just raised prices in December?
