The Trump administrationās tariff scheme appears less and less likely to bring manufacturing jobs back to U.S. shores.
Businesses across the country are crunching the numbers and realizing that, despite Donald Trumpās insistence, they canāt balance out his tariff hikes across the supply chain.
āSome manufacturers who had plans to open factories in the country say the new duties are only adding to the significant obstacles they already faced,ā Bloomberg reported Friday.
Thatās because the supply chain to produce those goods in the United States simply isnāt there, requiring companies to import raw materials and factory equipmentāwhich Trumpās tariffs have made unaffordableāfrom abroad.
ironically, much of the domestic industrial policy Biden signed into law was intended to do exactly this but Trump reversed course because corrupt reasons
āCorrupt reasonsā is actually giving him too much credit. Heās tearing up everything Biden did because Biden did it. He did the same thing with as much of Obamaās legislative agenda as he could.
Itās pure pettiness. He canāt allow his predecessors to have a legacy. His ego cannot afford it.
