the american importer has to pay 25% more to get import goods blanket from whatever country to the point it's no longer affordable to import it. so they have to buy american goods (this is the upside) and support local industries. then local industries, if they even exist, will inevitably jack up the price, taking advantage of regulatory capture. if the industry doesn't exist, then you're really fucked. hence why strategic tariffs are always better. and we're talking years for capital to actually reallocate and build whatever you wish to "replace." until then, buyers are fucked.
