Typically, the business simply continues its current operations, finds other markets and shifts costs to the consumers of the tariffing country. I am guessing there is hope that businesses will see value in paying the enormous cost of shifting their operations to the USA and capturing that market, but I think most will simply turn their attention elsewhere. Maybe some enterprising new manufacturing businesses will spring up here, but they'd need big bucks and huge tax breaks to do so.</p></blockquote><p></p>
