Oh yes, because the US (not we, I'm European, thank you very much) has a trade deficit with China it's inherently bad for the US? Where are you going to get a good price for steel (and not only steel) when you add a 25% tariff on it when it comes from China? It'll lead to American products also being more expensive and it'll lead to a lower purchasing power in the US. Other countries can also higher their prices for the US because why wouldn't they? The US isn't gonna get it cheaper from China... This leads to an endless price war that is not good for anyone.
