That's maybe the biggest problem with the Trump tariffs - not enough time to adjust. If you were doing it properly you'd plan years ahead.

Which is likely one reason among many why Biden didn't cancel the Trump v1 tariffs. Instead the IRA included a good chunk of money to invest in green infrastructure. We had Trump sticks and Biden carrots working somewhat harmoniously, and a smooth transition.
