Prez can effect the economy with taxes and with setting fees or limits to imports to give strategic advantages to local economy. Also subsidizing some parts of the economy... etc


All of the things you listed above are congress not the president. And as an aside tariffs and quotas can only ever hurt the local economy, not help it.


He can still push for it.

tariff part in many cases can help local economy (Corporate not consumer of course)

He can push for it but congress will (99.99% of the time) do what is politically beneficial for them as individuals, not what the president wants them to do, though of course sometimes the two will overlap. And no tariffs can never help the local economy. They can help a specific industry locally but only to the detriment of the local economy as a whole.
