We’ll have to see as this hasn’t really been tried before.

The tariffs alone might not affect the change intended as much as the sentiment behind it. I think Trump has to resurrect the MADE IN AMERICA campaign of the 80’s. If people start purposefully purchasing American goods, then domestic production will feel valid and businesses will return.

If Vietnam and America both agree to just eliminate tariffs, then production will just stay in Vietnam.

I agree and I've been saying that for years. The problem is that it wasn't enough to convince Americans to keep the jobs here. I was even called stupid at this forum for choosing higher priced American made over foreign made. We can only hope there has been a change of heart, and it will be enough to bring the jobs back.
