However, since Trump and his people believe that tariffs will make America great again, it makes me think if they have ever considered imposing tariffs between states within the USA, like between Texas and Utah. This should work too, right?
I’m not sure, because they haven’t been very clear or consistent in their rationale for supporting tariffs.
The strongest case acknowledges that tariffs are impoverishing overall, but can benefit a large nation with a diverse resource base. If that’s their framework, then internal tariffs wouldn’t be desired.
