Federal spending is up. So there is a pretty big focus on generating new revenue to pay for it.

Most analysis so far shows that tariffs are being paid primarily by U.S. consumers and U.S. businesses. The foreign share (in the form of price cuts) is pretty low.

One of the impressive things about Trump is that he managed to convince a nontrivial percentage of conservatives to cheer for higher spending and new taxes to pay for it.

It’s going to be interesting if the US economy can sustain this long term. There will be a race to build up their manufacturing capability against the revolt of their own citizens due to higher prices.
