Earlier this year President Donald Trump imposed tariffs on solar panels and washing machines, followed by tariffs on steel and aluminum. While these measures were poorly received by many economists and could actually cause net harm to the U.S. economy, some Democrats, notably those in Rust Belt states, voiced support for the tariffs on steel and aluminum imports.
