Higher steel prices mean more costs to Americans that make stuff out of steel. They have to pass those costs on to their customers in higher prices. Trump's campaign people stated from the beginning that would happen.
So if tariffs result in higher costs for American manufacturers, and that results in higher prices for American-made goods, how do we increase the sale of those more expensive goods overseas to reduce the trade deficit?

Negotiating lower tariff on exports and send illegal aliens packing.
In other words...build the wall...cut the trade deficits.
