Slap a 30% tariff on all imported goods and that would be a good start.

Raising costs to American companies using foreign components, causing them to have to raise prices, causing loss of market share, causing loss of American manufacturing jobs.

Brilliant.

Nope, that would accomplish the exact same thing Smoot-Hawley did: it would screw up the economy. Tariffs are how people who don’t understand international trade try to punish people who do.
