>> Prices will be higher until domestic suppliers come on line <<
If domestic producers could make and sell products at prices just as low as the foreign competitors, and do so at a profit, then they would already be doing so.
Otherwise, we’d have to assume that they’re not smart enough to recognize a good opportunity for a profit.
They can't. But almost.
The price will be higher, post tariff. Much higher at first them lower later on as domestic supplies kick in. The higher cost will be the difference in US labor/regs minus cheaper shipping costs. I'd estimate 5-7% higher. But quality will go up too. Yes, the one time inflation is worth it to me and a lot of other patriots.
