    I honestly don't get whatever "it" is. Again, if you don't understand what a tariff it, it's very simple to look it up. Don't take my word for it.

      If there is no alternative from US, the price of that product category as whole will rise, ultimately being paid by US citizens, meaning it is just a hidden tax rise 😘

        I agree but that's not what we were discussing

      Read all of the comments here, there are many stating why this would drive costs way up.

        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.
