the problem is that this dicussion is based on beer bar paroles and not on reality.
amercia needs the chinese steel imports to sell the produced goods all over the planet (and not to china).

by not importing this steel from china US producers have to deal with MUCH higher prices because costs and wins are based on % calculation.

so if a company calculates a win of 50% on top of the costs and the production of the good was 100 dollar before it was sold for 150 dollar.
if the same production is now 125 dollar it must be sold for 187,50 what is a huge difference in the world market.

when this export companies want to survive on the world market with a competitive price they have a few choices

1. bring the company to another country where they can produce and import the steel cheap - result ALL JOBS will go
2. automize as much as possible and get rid of human workers - result: many jobs will go
3. concentrate on the local market, produce less and sell expensive - result: less production and less jobs - higher costs for the locals - decrease of prosperity

i wonder wich solution our smart trump supporters will choose.
