Economists of all stripes hate tariffs, myself included. The free flow of goods and services across international (or intra-national) borders has been an ideal among economists at least since Adam Smith almost 250 years ago. However, hating tariffs in principle does not mean that one can clearly identify the ill effects of tariffs on an economy. And the fact is that for all the complaints about tariffs and counter-tariffs recently, foreign trade has been an especially benign short-term influence on US growth this year.
