They did work, to a point, but were also pretty hurtful to US economy. The company I worked for, which shall not be named, decided to move a sizable chunk of product manufacturing to Malaysia, and is (was?) considering Mexico as well, all because of the tariffs.

I don’t like Trump, and I didn’t like the way tariffs were implemented, but I strongly agree the US needs to be less dependent on China. Tariff did the job somewhat, so I guess it wasn’t a completely wrong decision.
