Small Ohio town of Delta welcomes new trade tariffs announced by President Trump .

Many locals in Delta back the president's plan to impose tariffs of between 10% and 50% on almost every country.

Trump has said the move will address unfair trade imbalances, boost US industry and raise revenue.

The automotive industry is particularly vulnerable to the impact of new tariffs.

Rob Gilson : "It seems like the heart of America is gone" Louise Gilson says Delta is a place where " 25% or 30% of the people are struggling with their demons" People in Delta are willing to give President Trump the benefit of the doubt, even as markets plunge.
