crtdaydreams: I'd like to try and clarify my understanding of the orange mans tarrif policy. This is probably quite a simplistic view, but from what I gather the general idea is to tax imports to high hell in order to force US-based companies to re-instate manufacturing on US soil and brew a highly competetive local industry, fostering innovation. And also forcing international companies

crtdaydreams: that "want a slice of the pie" to move their assets over to the US.

crtdaydreams: So in effect, instead of temu crap being made and sold in china, it can be made in the US

crtdaydreams: I wonder whether imports from TSMC will have some kind of exemption or cut

crtdaydreams: I'd like to get confirmation and/or correction on my thoughts. This view seems too simplistic to be true.
