If you mean Americans pay the tariffs because prices go up to cover costs, then probably so. But this eventually means cheap imports aren't cheap any more and they may as well go back to buying 'home made'

Possibly those American businesses will return to manufacturing in the USA when profits in their overseas factories drop significantly?

I remember all the "Buy British" campaigns, people ignored it and look where we are now
