"As a result, the US producers can be affected unfavourably if their finished product is no longer competitive as a result of components and resources under tariffs"

It all depends on how fast US can become self sufficient.

Ideally for any country it would be full reliance on its own produced goods and services with surplus being sold to outside world (original capitalism foundation). US started as Capitalist then became Financialist ending as Debtalist economy. Both later systems make more and easy money but have an expiry date and are easy to substitute by others just by emulating it.

If Trump does what I think he may be doing, he is trying to rake the world's zen garden and rearrange it so that US can become central piece (but not the only piece - that hose have bolted) - hoping that being there first will make the US take the prime spot. Alas, it would be not the first time I could be wrong ;-)
