They can, it just costs more. The idea behind tariffs is to raise the price of imports to make your prices more competitive. One of the issues with metal tariffs is that while you’re definitely creating jobs in making metal, you’re probably losing more downstream jobs. One of the weird side effects of the tariffs is…

Get the fuck out of here with your liberal, socialist aluminum. Steel is what made America great.

Literally yes.
