It certainly seems that way to me. For products that are manufactured in countries that have currencies that strengthen vs. the US dollar, their US price has to increase relative to similar products manufactured in the US. Or, if they want to stay competitive in the US market vs. US manufactured products, they have to cut their price and thereby decrease their profit margin. The imports lose, one way or another.
