How is slowing down the importation of coolie/slave made goods and in return exporting US dollars “hurting” us? IMO cut off all trade. Make it here.
While I agree with your sentiment, your idea is as stupid as "ban oil and make people buy electric cars"
The infrastructure to "make it here" does not exist and would take years to be put in place.
You cannot just "cut off all trade" and magically things are produced locally.
Trump was doing it right via tariffs over time.
It’s not the Soviet Union anymore. Places in Russia are looking more like the US these days.
...but yes make it here.
Should maybe set up the factories first....don’tcha think.
