if you are looking at this from the US that is not necessarily the only thing that could be driving prices up though. You've got tariffs and a much weaker dollar than it used to be right now...
A weak dollar will work great for you when you bring back all those manufacturing jobs from overseas and start exporting the surplus production. Any day know. Any day.
US prices are just EU prices + sales tax now
