I don't know about the numbers you present, but absolutely agree that some industries are just worth supporting, from a government perspective. Cannot be reliant on a geopolitical enemy for goods that allow your country to continue to function.

I think Trump losing us allies is a travesty, but there's no guarantee during a global conflict you can get items from said allies.
