Just to spell out what many comments already hint at:
There are no US-made routers. "Made" here refers to companies, not where the stuff is actually made. Even if the plastic housing happened to be made in the US for one or two products, the components are still from far away.
Those few US companies paid MAGA for this.
This is corruption pure and simple.
And also I'm SURE there will be no backdoors installed in these routers. This was a mutual deal to control information, not just a financial one
Almost certainly not just a money thing. They very likely also made deals for government access to and control of their devices. This isn't just corruption. It is fascism.
