What are Trump’s tariffs a lever for?

To make domestic products price competitive with sweatshop products
What about the "luxury" cheese and wine tariffs? Are Italian cheeses and French wines also sweatshop products? I can understand Airbus tariffs, but these? What's next, tariffs on bicycles?
Is it your view that the tariffs (and the proposed new deal with China) is doing that effectively?
