Greetings from Trump's America: Lee County, Mississippi, where steel and aluminium tariffs aren't a good thing

How Trump's Protectionism Backfires.  (The New York Times, 3/20/2018)

For every job in Tupelo producing steel or aluminum, there are 200 jobs in industries that consume them that could be put at risk as tariffs push up the prices of these metals, according to research from Jacob Whiton and Mark Muro of the Brookings Institution. This is true across the country. 

The lesson the White House has yet to figure out is that the tariffs meant to protect the businesses that make these metals will end up hamstringing the industries that rely on them.
