I mean, it doesn't make sense if everyone is playing fair. You can't negotiate without being willing to sacrifice something to hurt the other side. In war, that's soldiers, in trade wars, that's the consumer.
Ideally, everyone looks at their own tariffs and decides these aren't worth it, because, like you said, they hurt consumers. This means everyone lowers tariffs and life continues better than it was before.
