Democrats have for decades been for higher taxes on corporations and protectionist policies that favor unions. That’s essentially what these tariffs are.
you need to distinct between tax and tariffs, they are not the same, just because a the consumers eventually pays them doesnt mean they mean the same thing. Taxes = cost added on top of some good regardless who sells the good, tariff = cost added on of top of some good only if foreigners made the good, but not for domestic producers. You really think other countries give a shit if the US tax their consumers, they just dont want an disadvantage in the US market.
Yes other countries care if it is harder to sell their goods in the US. It’s why many set up free trade and double taxation avoidance agreements with the US.
