$ETH #1. Trump’s Threat:
Former President Donald Trump has reportedly proposed a $7 billion tariff aimed at companies like Nike that manufacture products overseas and sell them in the U.S.
The focus is on reshoring jobs — bringing manufacturing back to American soil, similar to the strategy during the 2018–2020 trade war with China.
#2. Nike's Exposure:
Roughly 96% of Nike's footwear is made outside the U.S., mainly in Vietnam, Indonesia, and China.
A targeted tariff could significantly raise the cost of imports, forcing Nike to:
Raise prices
Absorb higher costs (cutting into profits)
Consider reshoring — which is slow and expensive.
