Tarrifs are used to protect the jobs/markets of the IMPORTING country. That's the way a true free market economy is supposed to work. Unfortunately our politicians "fast tracked" us into a never ending web of "Free Trade" agreements that do nothing but favor our competitiors and ship our jobs overseas. I'm all for free trade, provided it's a level playing field, and that it's TRUE free trade.
