ostensibly intended to encourage manufacturing in the US instead of sending those manufacturing jobs overseas.

That low? I thought I remembered newspapers were written at 8th or 10th grade levels.
Fair, but in journalism you can just write “Trump says the tariffs are to encourage manufacturing in the US…”
Unless the journalist is a mind-reader, they don’t know what Trump thinks.
That's true, I don't mean to discount that.
