You might have a point, but the Rust Belt hasn't declined because of foreign competition. The Rust Belt has moved to "right to work" states in the South. And at the same time, auto manufacturing even right here in the U.S. is being dominated by foreign companies.

The latest company to announce a new plant in the U.S. is Volvo. They're looking to build a $500 million facility in South Carolina. This story has played out at least 15-20 times over the last couple of decades ... always involving foreign companies, and always in the South.
