US working class is not going to get any benefit of this assuming that US is able to bring the manufacturing back. The robots are more cost effective than paying US working wage in many cases. They are going to automate the factories.
Now coming to bringing back manufacturing, the carrot approach usually works better. Its possible to move some part of critical infrastructure back. Example is semi conductor chips. What tariffs do is opposite. Tariffs forces countries to move supply chain away from US and eventually moving away from US dollar as reserve. Now normally this would result in a war. The problem is US cant go to a war with China. There are 3 nuclear countries in that region. SEA wont even help US against China. Same goes for India and Russia. Its not afghanistan anymore. US loses its bases in entirety of Asia as a result of this and dollar will be thrown out of the equation.
