I have a question and I hope I don’t look too stupid.

If Mexico will only pay for the wall via the imposition of taxes/tariffs, will they not just tack the extra costs to their goods and pass that along. Doesn’t that mean Americans will wind up paying those tariffs, and therefore paying for the wall themselves? Or would adding the tariffs make the cost of their goods high enough that American manufacturing would be able to compete again?

Wouldn’t this also apply to China? Just wondering.
