We don't have to "onshore" all the manufacturing to get a benefit. Having certain manufacturing functions moved from China (bad trade partner and geopolitical enemy across an ocean) to Mexico (better trade and geopolitical partner, not across an ocean) is also a win.
Amen
People keep forgetting a big part of this new program is moving our very vulnerable trade lines from Asia (threat of China, Russia, Iran, etc) and moving them to the Western Hemisphere.....where the powerful USA armed forces can protect them better in the event of any major conflict or crisis.
What if in 1941 all our factories and manufacturing had been in Europe or Asia? The USA would have been in a really bad spot during WWII
I think the markets have settled into this. They've baked in some disruption but also realize Trump is essentially forcing everyone to the table, and that the stragglers will be few (maybe substantively just China).
1947! Is opposed to something Trump is doing. Shocking. Why are you for them?
To get the negotiations and remove the high tariffs imposed on US companies.

It's difficult for most folks to accept this…….
In all but flagrant military action China has been at war with the United States for at least 15 years.
We either fight back economically or continue to roll over.
And if we choose to roll over folks are going to have far bigger problems than their 401k's.
Trump is doing the exact right things in regards to China.

Wonder when ( or if ) the American people will ever grasp the difference between Biden/Hariss and Donald Trump in regards to the economic survival of the US standard of living.
Alright, I think people knew of the tariff pause and traded it beforehand.

Free trade with Canada is a farce unless the other regulations [such as their inspection, supply chain, etc. regulations] are also killed. USA dairy could teach a master class on the various underhanded methods that Canada uses to end run USMCA.
The "Canadians are such nice people" talking point is one of today's biggest lies. The average person might be nice. Their politicians make Schumer and Pelosi look honest in comparison.
