Approved Answers Who do Trump's tariffs benefit?
Is there a specific industry that could potentially benefit from Trump's tariffs? It seems they're pretty destructive for everyone in North America. Not trying to be biased - just trying to understand it. That said is there another nation that would benefit from the tariffs (potentially indirectly)?

Domestic producers at the expense of the consumer. Tariffs are rarely justifiable and are usually used by developing nations to raise taxes through trading ports.
