The Brexit vote and Trump's widespread support reflect a sweeping rejection of expert opinion in advanced countries. Those tariffs would likely raise costs for U.S. consumers, economists say, and are unlikely to return many factory jobs to the United States.

Economists have raised similar concerns about Trump, who has threatened to slap huge tariffs on imports from China and Mexico. Yet that rejection itself could raise the likelihood of further economic harm, some economists warn.
