You are mistaking outsourching to save costs for lack of capacity. An easy mistake to make. However, the US pharma industry can easily make penicillin. They have just outsourced it to China because it is cheaper.

 

This of course illustrates why Trump is right and a shift has to happen.

 

Outsourcing as you say is the solution from the 70's that took manufacturing out of the US and into foreign countries to make it much more profitable for corps and give the ability to avoid US taxation. Its what collapsed the manufacturing industries base in the US and will hinder any type of quick fix that Trump keeps talking about as the 2nd side of his tariff actions. There will be a decade or so of struggle but pricing will be the nail in the US and  global appeal for US made products.

However, Trump's sensible approach in wanting to end the Ukraine war shows he is no war monger.

Come that was to protect European shipping. He can't help his allies now?

Please. It was to keep the price of oil lower. You really believes he considers European nations to be his allies? That would raise a chuckle from the Europeans. Although a good chunk of of Russia is considered to be European so maybe you have a small percentage of a point.

I certainly don't consider European nations to be Britains allies!

If they were, they wouldn't be allowing all those illegals to camp on their beaches, then cross to the UK.

I don't blame you after the way they threw the UK out of the EU. It was shocking!

So when the top secret Signal conversations have all the top officials complaining how they have to do this to protect European shipping, you don't believe them?

Now they're top secret are they? I thought they weren't even classified? Giving you these people and their prejudices, I believe in their ignorance.

Live at Beckley WV for about a year.  Lovely state and people.  Shame my salary sucked, or I would have stayed.   First place I lived, away from home & all things familiar.   From Philly metro, to backwater, out of the main town of Beckley, in middle of nowhere and loved it.

 

Loaded up my 'station wagon' with $200 borrowed from my brother and off I went, to the unknown.

 

On topic ... yea, Trump needs to be careful with trade war with CN.   Actually one, if push comes to shove, USA can't win that fight.

 

CN controls the supply chain of medicine, auto & grid components.  USA isn't close to filling that void now or the immediate future if they are cut off from CN exports.

especially since the KING put a crimp in relations between the US and the rest of the countries of the world including those with necessary raw materials needed for the US to produce just about anythinig.

Trump's tariffs will not boost inflation. In the long term as manufacturing returns to the US and goods become more expensive due to being made in the US inflation will naturally decrease.

1 am not an economist, but even I can see that putting tarrifs of multiples of 10% on imported goods means that the prices of those imported goods rise -  inflation?

 

If in the long term manufacturing "returns to the US" it will require massive investment in factories. Wages and production costs for the goods will be higher, investment will have to be paid back, therefore the goods will be more expensive ( the whole reason the manufacturing moved abroad) - inflation?

Well, yes in the short run. But in the long run the higher prices will have the effect of tempering consumer spending, thus this will eventually lower inflation.
