There is no jobs problem in the US though. Unemployment is at 4% which is mostly just job churn. Long term unemployment is only 1%.

US consumers, that’s all of you, are being hammered with taxes on imported goods most of which can’t realistically be produced in the US anyway, to solve a problem you don’t have.

A commitment like this takes years to plan. It can’t possibly be a response to tariffs announced weeks ago. This is all optics.
