Tariffs don’t go to the companies... they go to the government

What you are saying is you don't understand how tariffs work. UFB. Think it thru it isn't hard to understand.

Well, explain it to me.

As I understand it, tariffs help domestic producers of goods by raising the price inside the country. So, some of the strictly domestic companies would be helped. But those are the small ones.

But if a US company is global, with production going all over the world, and can’t compete with temporarily low prices from Saudi Arabia and Russia, who have low production costs, how will domestic tariffs help that company?
