#美国加征关税 Tariff Policy and American Manufacturing

The U.S. government hopes to encourage the return of manufacturing through tariffs, but the effects are limited. While a few companies have moved back to the U.S., most have chosen to shift capacity to countries like Vietnam and Mexico due to high costs. Employment growth in American manufacturing is slow, and industries reliant on tariff protection (such as steel) are facing overcapacity issues. Additionally, companies that depend on imported components (such as auto manufacturers) are losing competitiveness due to rising costs. Experts point out that revitalizing manufacturing requires comprehensive policies (such as infrastructure investment and skills training), rather than relying solely on tariffs.
