- STEPHEN MOORE: This tariff is an expensive gift to China and our families will pay for it
Stephen Moore criticizes specific trade tariffs, particularly on imported tinplate steel used for metal cans, arguing they raise consumer prices for canned goods without spurring domestic production. He highlights that U.S. can manufacturers source 70% of tinplate steel abroad, now subject to a 50% tariff, which has increased costs for the canned food industry and consumers.
