The correct policy is not a fixed percentage but rather and equal percentage. That means if they charge X percent, we also charge X percent.

But import tariffs don’t fix the underlying cost of labor differential that businesses face.

An idled workforce is expensive and socially/politically unstable. There are costs both ways.

I vote for manufacturing to stay here even if it costs 5% more. The national security aspects alone justify it.
