Targeted tariffs can work to protect domestic industry. The word itself is not a dirty word. Blanket or broad tariffs however simply cause hardship on citizens without choice.
I lived through that in Guyana, the autocratic president declared broad tariffs on imports. He skimmed the wealth and hid it in Swiss account. The economy was poor before but went into crisis. Nothing substantial was made in Guyana but poor grade rice, sugarcane and rum, lumber, and gold and diamond mining. Flour and paint was smuggled in from Surname. I remember a case where they filled the frame tubes of an old Bedford truck with flour. It got close to the point of revolution again when he died, and his Russian wife was declared the President. Everyone was a smuggler including JW missionaries and 'need greaters'. They would have barrels filled with baby clothes from thrift stores and rummage sales in America and Canada, and shipped as 'personal items' not to be sold. A few bucks at the customs dock and away you go. Anything or everything was sold to buy necessities, most of which were in turn, smuggled in as well. Dock workers hadn't been paid in months, same was true of police and teachers. Everyone was just surviving.
In short broad tariffs make the rich richer, both by lowering their income taxes and though their corrupt connections with the black markets. While the poor are forced to live without.
I'm not being an alarmist and suggesting the same will happen to that extent, but I am questioning why would one of the richest and educated counties in the world want to adopt regressive policies of a banana republic.
