I like protectionism.
We didn’t protect the integrated circuit (”chip”) industry and now all the manufacturing is overseas. We can’t get enough for our industries.
But there is no denying there can be unintended consequences.

All the high-end fabrication plants are in the US.

98 plants in this list - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_semiconductor_fabrication_plants

The low-end ones that we’re having a problem with now are in other countries.
