Trump: Move to the US to avoid tariffs.
Tech companies: India it is!
So trump won’t tariff India?
Why would he? India is no really a challenge.
Yet.
All it would take is for him to have a bad interaction with someone vaguely Indian and he’ll throw down a tariff.
Yeah, because tariffs are only reserved to large competitors on the world stage like, check notes, Canada?
You’re applying logic when logic doesn’t apply. Why would he tarriff Canada?
India is no really a challenge.
And Canada is?
Yes. Canada and Mexico are transit countries for products coming from China. Plus, he wants to reduce Fentanyl (but I doubt this is the real reason).

What? No.

Yeah, we all doubt it: 0.2% of US fentanyl came form Canada. Zero point two percent!
Enlighten us. What is the reason?
Our Prime Minister and Foreign Minister believe Trump is using tariffs to force an annexation of Canada, just as his idol McKinley tried in 1870 (he also failed miserably)
You just answered it yourself. It failed miserably and it will obviously fail again. Nobody can seriously believe that the USA colonizes Canada. Consequently, it can’t be the reason for the tarriffs.
They literally have manufacturing facilities in the US as well due to the IBM acquisition. This article seems to gloss over the reality of them being globally diverse for a while.
HP and Dell manufacture more in PRC.
Yeah, there’s no evidence that this is because of tariffs. Companies don’t make big moves like this after only a week of changes.
What will happen is that the Chinese government will just take over manufacturing and plants and continue to make the same products under a Chinese name, the same way Russia rebranded a lot of companies that left then when the war started.
under a Chinese name
Lenovo is already a Chinese company. They’re just moving production for US bound products somewhere else. I guarantee most of their production will still be in China.
Winning
These companies will never come back.
