This isn't entirely true. The US still manufactures a lot of stuff, but does so more efficiently than in the past. The bulk of imported emissions other than electronics and a few minerals are in goods and raw materials that we trade around within NAFTA. A lot of our trade partners are also reducing emissions, even as they export to us. China is our largest partner in terms of our imports, but it only accounts for 16%, while Canada and Mexico represent 14% each.

- ch4s3 4y agoMexico is still cutting emissions year over year, as I mentioned in another comment Mexico, Canada, and the US are all making CO2 cuts. So even if that particular emissions is moved around all of NAFTA is making emissions progress.
