The long and short of it is this because of triffin's dilemma the US imports most of all the goods that it consumes so if we put tariffs On our trading partners abroad they will not eat that price increase they will just increase the price of their goods in order to sell to us therefore driving up the price further.

We don't manufacture much of anything in the United States the only thing we manufacture is paper to print and send to the rest of the world. So as this continues to proliferate through the economy more and more individuals are going to start going and buy more of those goods before the prices increase further therefore pushing up inflation faster
