But notably not being done in the US, so the net effect is still higher prices due to tariffs and no jobs created.

And even if it were the US, the costs would still be higher due to tarrifs on raw materials and higher labor costs. The entire plan is just so moronic.

Obviously resulting in large gains to the US 🤷
