If the US were expecting a war against e.g. China (e.g. over Taiwan), then reducing dependence on China (e.g. by making imports from China more expensive so it's cheaper to buy from elsewhere and companies switch) would make a lot of sense, wouldn't it?

He tariffed China in his 1st administration as well, which was a failure (and in terms of war, inconsequential). The more obvious reason here is that it's part of the bullshit "america-first" campaign, and no further thought went into it.
