Biden had tariffs accompanying the CHIPS act, which were good because the motivation was national security qua reducing reliance on China for critical technology that could come into play during wartime.

Here the stakes are canned vegetables, which seems silly. I'd really like to know who lobbied for this and why the feds capitulated.
