It's not a solution for anything, unless you happen to be the owner of an uncompetitive but politically connected industry, and want government to steer money from consumers pockets to your own.

I disagree, at least in principle. Placing a tariff that accounts for the variance in COB from one country to the US will bring jobs back, so long as doing so does not cost more over 5 years than the initial investment in robotics. And for now, it won't. And the prices won't go up, because people won't be able to afford those goods, or as much of them, or a competitor will undercut those prices.
