Why is this great for American manufacturers exactly? I'm guessing Trump doesn't know that Foxconn is a Taiwanese company? That sounds about right.
- CamelCaseName 9y agoFoxconn has more factories in China than in any other country and their largest factory is in Shenzhen. The implied "Made in USA" vs "Made in China" is fair.
- bogomipz 9y agoMy comment was very clearly asking about the "American manufacturers" part of the quote not the "Made in USA" part. Foxconn has factories around the globe but they are a Taiwanese manufacturer not an American manufacturer, they are traded on the TWSE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foxconn https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foxconn
