The tariffs are always less about the money and more about the leverage.  It's why Biden kept them on Chinese imports - China plays criminally dirty in trade.

Trying to get leverage on China so that they'll play nicely when it comes to things like IP laws can make sense. What exactly do we want from Mexico and Canada?

That's the million dollar question.  If we take into account what Trump says(illegal northern and southern border crossings, drug smuggling) and who Trump is(petty, arrogant, tough), I concluded this: oil from Canada, extortion from both.
