FAFO! Trump's Trade War Backfires Bigly - The Logical Leftist



What happens when a trade war meant to bring jobs back to America ends up pushing them overseas? In this compelling video, we examine the fallout from President Donald Trump's tariffs, which were designed to bolster U.S. manufacturing but are now forcing automakers to consider relocating to China. According to The Wall Street Journal, major players in the auto industry are racing against time to find solutions to avoid production halts due to a shortage of rare-earth materials.

We’ll break down the implications of this shift, including the potential loss of American jobs and the economic disaster that could ensue. As automakers contemplate shipping components to China for assembly, we’ll discuss the broader impact on workers and families who rely on these jobs. Tune in for an insightful discussion on the unintended consequences of trade policies and what they mean for the future of American manufacturing.
