Capital used for domestic production. The theory with tariffs is that companies will move capital investments stateside rather than exporting those investments and then importing the final product. The theory anyways.
- IAmGraydon 1y agoThat will never happen because (1) the Trump Administration has created nothing but uncertainty by making illegal changes to tariff policy via executive order and changing their mind literally several times per week and (2) they have also made imports of raw materials prohibitively expensive, meaning that it's still cheaper to produce overseas and pay the tariff.
