In and around 2004 the largest and most productive cell phone factory in the world was in DFW, TX (Nokia).
I'm sure it wouldn't be an issue to do that again with the right amount of funding. It's interesting to me that people think that doing this is impossible or so difficult that it is nearly impossible.
Anything is possible.

I'm guessing tariffs will still be far less expensive than ramping up US-based manufacturing that can cover all the components/labor that was sourced in China. Long run, it might pay off, but you're betting that the next president (or even the current unpredictable president) won't go and roll back the tariffs before the investment has paid off.
