You obviously don't understand global supply chains. I'd buy a huge bag of popcorn to watch the consequences if Blackrock could do that. They can't, but even if they could, American consumers would feel the bite, because there are very few products in the world that are 100% comprised of parts from one place. You buy a toaster. The elents may come from one place. The thermostat from another, and the mechanicals from another, and the body from another and they all get assembled in Mexico, Canada, or China. So doing tariffs on that basis would make iPhone hella more expensive than they are now, and American consumers would have to pay for that. IPhones are expensive already, and there are cheaper alternatives. Indeed, US consumers will have to start buying less often, because they pay the tariffs. So be careful what you wish for, especially if you're a republican member, because your writing your death poem with tarrifs.
