There is a lot of damage to industrialization hopes. Tariffs on metals, lumber, gypsum hurts building and manufacturing. Energy (solar and batteries) tariffs not only means higher energy input costs for industry, it’s yet another immediate cost of living increase for people, and an unsustainable planet is a worse cost of living increase/quality of life decrease.
There does seem to be an industrial policy to militarize AI, and monopolize data centers to US, through politicized investment funds, but they are not getting the quo pro their quid, and limiting the world to US controlled data centers is certain to make them prefer/wait for Chinese tech to catch up.
Retaliation, undermining, and boycotts is going to mean less production and less jobs and less income to afford consumption at higher prices. War on Universities doesn’t help future. Forcing kids to replace immigrant labour instead of school focus is anti-future.

Well they want a future of control, even if it means giving up geopolitical hegemony
