I agree in the case of the US, which I chalk up partially to investors knowing the US tariffs are both arbitrary and transitory. Even if the Trump administration were consistent, there's the possibility that the next president will undo them and corporations need more than a four-year guarantee before making investments. I'm mostly responding to the position that tariffs have no place in economic policy, when we've seen them used successfully in other countries. Should Congress pass a bill legislating tariffs, then I could see them having more of the desired effect, though as I said I'd still be pessimistic without broader changes.
