Tariffs can create jobs. Key word, can. They are not guaranteed to work. It’s all dependent on how the company or country on the receiving end will handle them. If they just transfer costs down the chain, then it will do nothing. If they choose to try and keep their prices competitive, then they will bring their manufacturing to America. Or, in terms of a country, Columbia being a good example. Getting them to do something by threatening tariffs and then removing them when they comply, that is indeed what you could call the art of the deal.
Now if the tariff gets removed because it’s failed to get the company or country to do as desired, then that isn’t art of the deal. No deal was made, and nothing really changed.
