And that’s just finished goods. Imagine all the cars, computers or washing machines that will no longer be available either because their components, and the components of their components, are currently made there too.
#supplychains and global trade are immensely complex things that have taken generations to build.

It seems likely that firms which are not overly dependent on complex #SupplyChains and which have until now produced mainly in #China or Southeast #Asia will now open an additional production site in the #USA to produce exclusively for the #American #market ,in order to escape #Trump 's tariffs. This means higher #production costs and higher selling #prices in the USA, but not elsewhere. Which means more #inflation in the USA than in the rest of the #world .

One response to the Liberation Day tariff hike for US firms, may be a rise in the use of 3D printing in supply chains - rather than import/trade key components, import/negotiate the right to 3D print (to a contracted quantity) the parts, thereby avoiding the tariff charges...

Straight away you'll appreciate that this requires, however, good intellectual property & contract law enforcement... which may hit a different problem; Trump's lack of interest in the Rule of Law
