If this were indeed the case, I’m not sure tariffs are the right direction to do it.

Principally, that a company would need more guarantees on their capital investment that extend beyond a single president’s term. Since tariffs can be revoked at any moment, companies will want more assurances that the long path of capital investment will be worthwhile, or else they might find themselves disadvantaged before even getting off the ground.

They would find themselves lobbying the government to hold back the free market for them within a few years time.
