Britains steel industry disappeared long ago in actuality and only exists on paper.
The biggest one is in the next city from me (Sheffield) and its owned by an Indian company.
Almost all steel production in the UK now isn't actually produced, its reshaped chinese pig iron, that China absolutely saturated Europe with for the sole purpose of collapsing the EU steel industry and creating its own monopoly

Yep. The "Industrial North" considerably less industrial these days.

Despite the ownership its English workers. A Chinese business group tried to intercept a shipment of coking coal before it could unload. This lack of coke would have shut down the running mills. The British government stopped the Chinese and are trying to stop them from doing the same trick at sea. The Chinese don't play by the rules.

Yes. See if everyone dropped tariffs to zero, Canada would still have an advantage in syrup and wood. China would have the advantage with cheap labor, the US would have an advantage in quality of products. Instead everyone is gonna have tariffs and stop exporting.

Yes, and it'll stop hurting the US. See how that works. It's like the bully at school taking a kids lunch money every day and then crying "he hit me" when the kid finally retaliates.

Quality. Of products?

The reason people around the world don't buy you as products is it because of tariffs, it's because it's crap. They're designed to stop working or fall apart in just a few months so you have to buy more.

US manufacturing is known for more expensive higher quality products than China.

Taiwanese manufacturing is known for more expensive high quality products than China.
The US hasn't made any high quality products since the end of the 1960s.

There's a 'museum' (which looks like a room in somebody's apartment) of antique toasters in NYC somewhere. I saw this on television once. They got toasters a century old, older even...... that still work. They still work. They might use a lot of electricity. It might be a little bit too exposed on the side for anybody with fingers. But. they. still. work.
You buy toaster now, and in 5 months you need a replacement.

Last year, the gardeners were pruning the bushes, and one of them took a pair of pruning shears to a big thick branch. I said I got a saw if you want, I don't want you to damage that thing. I mean, this thing was like 3 inches wide. He turns it to its side and points and says see that? Made in Switzerland. No need to worry.
You do that with one made here, and that thing will fall apart before you get through the bark. I know, I've done it.

US manufacturing is not known for more expensive higher quality products than China, they simply are more expensive higher quality products than China because the Chinese ones were made as cheaply as possible and designed to fall apart, just like their American counterparts, only quicker. Which means customers will just go back to Home Depot to buy another one even sooner.
