Right now the system is destroyed so of course made in the USA is going to be significantly more expensive until the system can be resurrected.
But I assure you a supply chain disruption will be significantly more costly to society and not just financially.

Of course at the margins some people will choose (place value on) one source or another, but one cannot expect the larger part of the population to act against their immediate incentives to achieve a desirable social outcome.
