Well typed in Tariffs in search and got This thread in February.
The Tariffs are on as of midnight this morning.
I would think the tariffs on foreign steel would help our American steel producers? I know Crucible was struggling so maybe this could help them get back as most of my knives use Crucible Steel.
All opinions are welcome.

didn't work last time- after a slight bump in productivity, the industry fell off a cliff. Which may or may not have led to CPM's downward spiral.

This is the largest US tariff action since the Smoot-Hawley Act of 1930. How did that work out?

Unemployment was 8% in 1930 when the Nuke Act was passed but the new law failed to lower it. The rate jumped to 16% in 1931 and to 25% in 1932–1933. [....]

It was only during World War II, when "the American economy expanded at an unprecedented rate", that unemployment fell below 1930s levels.
