So, now they get shipped back and forth across the Pacific...twice? Wow. So much "winning".
I think it could pressure the us to produce more things fully domestically
If that were possible, they wouldn't be shipping the back to Taiwan for final processing.
I meant like it puts pressure on the us to make things so they can make things on their own
But if they can't make those things on their own, then that added pressure just breaks things, making them less efficient and more expensive.
I mean, if you compare a ton of tropical wood or fruit to a ton of microchips, the value of the latter is so much better, that this is not such a problem. There will still be some logistical overhead even if much of the processes will happen in the USA. These are supply chains more complex than anything in our daily lives.
