Crazy, it's almost like just tariffs don't make companies build in the destination country and you actually have to incentivize the choices you want those companies to make.
The supply chain for electronics is established in Asia, if you want to build in North America then you need to help ease the pain of the distance from that supply chain so people are actually interested in making a new one elsewhere.
Almost like it takes materials, complex machines, and a fuck load of time to build a factory instead of Tariffs magically creating them.
{I agree with you. But the Tariff debate is an incredibly stupid one that boils down to team Trump literally not understanding basic cause and effect.)
That's way too logical and intelligent an idea for this administration.
It's really quite insane, I'm from Canada and want a strong manufacturing industry here because it became clear during the pandemic that the manufacturing industry here is insanely anemic. The current admin however is just running on the most insane premise possible.
