Yep, they want tariffs. Say US steel producers (producers, not consumers) can sell steel to companies that make products which need steel (like appliances and cars), for $100 a ton. Companies in Asia may have lower costs, and can sell the same steel for $50 a ton.

But if the companies in Asia are hit by a $75 per ton tariff, they can't make a profit. So the US producers - both owners and workers - win. And consumers pay more.
