And even without any retaliation, high import tariffs will be bad, raising prices for U.S. firms and U.S. consumers, reducing U.S. income. Plain and simple. Here a decomposition for the example of U.S. trade barriers on Chinese inputs (no retaliation):
I've talked a lot about the underlying economics of tariffs. But the simplest argument is this: Our tariffs will lead to retaliatory tariffs. (See eg Canada) So whatever theory you might have that our tariffs help us at their expense also teaches you that their retaliation will undo whatever gains you're expecting. We both end up more isolated.
