Don’t really buy this logic.
If you want companies to invest in your country, the tariff has to make doing so make financial sense, and for the long term.
A lot of these tariffs are going on things that would require a whole factory to be built in the USA which doesn’t currently exist at all, and has no supporting infrastructure or workforce.
Companies can’t just decide right now, “oh shit there’s a tariff. Better but it in the USA right away!”
- downrightmike 1y agoProbably some of the uncertainty, and the fact that these tariffs are illegal, so they wouldn't stand long
- anigbrowl 1y agoRight, and if you're a non-American producer do you want to make massive forced investments to sell into the US market, or put less money into developing your presence in other markets that are not as hostile/unpredictable.
