I think Trump is about to learn that having "trade deficits" whereby the world sends America real stuff in exchange for fake paper money is GOOD for America
I predict this will be a wake up call when you can no longer get raw materials at slave wage prices
Lol raw materials are not at slave wage prices in US.
Many are - pretty much entire EV and battery industry runs on slave labor
But you're right not everything
So then to your point, maybe tariffs on slave-labor materials will reduce the occurence of slave labor. This is a good thing, right?
For example, EV buyers are complicit in supporting child slave labor.
Yes, it's good for slave laborers
But bad for consumers who want cheap EVs
And many other products too, shrimp and vanilla are also examples
A society that lives on the sea and can’t feed its people is doomed. - common quip used to describe the downfall of Rome
At some point we have to be able to produce for ourselves.
But we closed down our REAL factories in the process.
Made in America needs to return to America
