If corps want to continue exploiting lower costs countries with lax environmental laws, you’re right, how does a conservative justify interfering. Maybe we can’t.

Never ceases to amaze me how many conservatives equate conservative economics with radical libertarianism. My conservatism incorporates the old fashioned notion of the national interest. If something is good for corporate profits but bad for America it's bad and we can stop it. Period. The cheek of the libertarians in claiming the Founding Fathers as retroactive allies in their fight for globalism is something to behold. Tariffs are written into the Constitution! The Founding Fathers opposed pure free trade! They were nationalists, not libertarians!

Just a thought: the USA could: lower the corporate tax rates; reduce the overly zealous rules and regulations; and trim back the out of bounds EPA. And allow the USA to be more competitive. With automation And the above actions the USA could be a good place for manufacturing.
