It will be more expensive, for sure, but that’s not even the main problem.
The primary issue is that these tariffs are unpredictable. We don’t know if the Trump administration is going to add more, reduce them, or remove them completely. The administration seems to change their mind every day. Plus, they’re deeply unpopular, so even if the administration were being consistent and clear, they are almost certainly being repealed in four years when a new administration takes over.
So nobody wants to invest in building factories here, because there’s no guarantee that they won’t soon be competing with cheaper labor again in the future. It’s too risky of an investment even if it was cheaper in general
This is excellent, thank you
