If Trump is successful, many of the jobs of Vietnam and other Asian countries will move to the US.
Jobs will be lost for those who currently depend on exporting goods (primarily to Europe) but also agricultural goods to Asia.
=====
SO, how will the farmers like the new jobs on the assembly line making shoes and blouses and perhaps even TV sets? Will this work for the workers in the closed factories in Michigan which have long ago moved to ARK, TEN and TX? US workers produce lots and lots of cars in those states. IMO, MORE plants will move from Detroit as the costs of parts from Canada go up (or are not available) and the wages in the South continues to be lower. Make no mistake, the US will continue to make more and more cars.
======
As an aside, the GOVERNMENT handout to farmers was $20B as part of the last set of tariffs under Trump (after China retaliated).
