Trying to understand what is Trump’s plan with the tariff. Let's say that they could bring manufacturing back to the U.S. what’s next? How would the U.S. get the rest of the world to buy from them when there are cheaper options right next door?

To me, it made perfect sense that for a company like Apple for example, to have their iPhones come out from a factory in China, have it transported and sell to the rest of Asia, rather than having their iPhones come out from a factory in the U.S. and ship it to the rest of Asia, or Europe, or rest of the world.

Isn’t it better to produce the thing that your buyer wants to buy, closer to the buyer itself so you can transport it to them faster, and cheaper?

Unless the end goal is not just to have the world buying from the U.S. but also to stop the world buying from China. How do you do that?
