Yes.
You might see some retaliation affecting exports, but imports dwarf exports. So you would expect to see some manufacturers move production back to the U.S.
The tariffs would also provide a revenue stream to help pay for the costs of the unemployed.
We have to be careful because the effects of tariffs can be both SEEN and UNSEEN.
Some people and industries GAIN when the tariff is enacted and others lose. For instance, when Bush placed a tariffs on steel imports, it saved jobs in the steel industry. However, it resulted in higher steel prices, which in turn resulted in fewer sales of American steel products around the world and losses of far more jobs than are saved.
The number of jobs in the steel is exceeded many times over in industries making steel products, from automobiles to oil rigs, refrigerators, locomotives, etc., etc. Tariffs that save jobs in the steel industry mean higher steel prices, which in turn means fewer sales of American steel products around the world and losses of far more jobs than are saved.
The way gains and losses are distributed is absolutely crucial in understanding why tariffs along with many other policies are enacted.
The gains from tariff policies are a lot more visible than the losses. You can see the sawmills which would be closed down if the industry is not protected by tariffs. You can meet the workers whose jobs will be lost if tariffs are not enacted by the government.
Since the costs of the policies are distributed far and wide, you cannot put a face on the cost of a poor economic policy. Although 8 workers might lose their job for every job saved by a softwood lumber tariff, you will never meet one of these workers, because it is impossible to pinpoint exactly which workers would have been able to keep their jobs if the tariff was not enacted. If a worker loses his job because the performance of the economy is poor, you cannot say if a reduction in lumber tariffs would have saved his job. The nightly news would never show a picture of a California farm worker and state that he lost his job because of tariffs designed to help the lumber industry in Maine. The link between the two is impossible to see.
The link between lumber workers and lumber tariffs is much more visible and thus will garner much more attention.
The gains from a tariff are clearly visible but the costs are hidden, it will often appear that tariffs do not have a cost. By understanding this we can understand why so many government policies are enacted which harm the economy.
