That's the point of tariffs, to increase prices on imported goods to make it more appealing to manufacture in the U.S.
Whether that's the real goal with these tariffs, hard to say at this point, but in general tariffs are a good thing for creating and maintaining a strong middle class. Wanting all of the cheap shit imported from China, Mexico and the third world is what creates the power imbalance we currently have.
It's like saying "limiting immigration will make labor more expensive and cause prices to go up". Yah, that's the point.
