The Impact of Trump's Tariffs on American Goods and Industries

TL;DR Summary
President-elect Donald Trump's proposed tariffs on imports from Mexico, Canada, and China could lead to a shift in US import sources, with countries like Vietnam, Indonesia, and Bangladesh potentially benefiting. While Trump aims to boost domestic manufacturing, experts suggest that high production costs and infrastructure challenges may limit this shift. Instead, companies might relocate production to other countries to avoid tariffs, though some may absorb the costs if it remains cheaper. The trade dynamics could see increased imports from Southeast Asia and Europe, particularly in electronics and apparel.
