Because the USD was seen as the world reserve currency and the refuge in a storm, the US has been able to finance massive deficits and enjoy cheap stuff with an over valued dollar without facing the consequences. As countries and investors de dollarize and shun US treasury bonds because they see the US as unreliable, reality will start to hit home. Just about every country has seen its currency rise against the USD since March including the CAD as they are being seen as more reliable. Devaluation of the USD will do more to reduce US imports than tariffs.

40% of Harley Davidson production is sold outside the US. Europe and Asia are its biggest export markets, Canada is their third biggest. Wonder how reciprocal tariffs will affect their sales.
