    Read all of the comments here. We were not discussing driving up prices, we were discussing tariffs on American products, which don’t exists, because that’s not how tariffs work.

      This feels like semantics. Sure, domestically made products wouldn’t have tariffs directly applied. But they will still increase in price as a result of this policy.

      Which most of us here have reduced to “prices will rise on USA made products as a result of these tariffs”.

      So yes, tariffs aren’t applied to domestic productions directly, but the end product will still cost more and the reason will be the tariffs.

      I think we agree now, yes?
