There are several foreign manufacturers that have production facilities in the US. I imagine they are about to see a major payoff on that decision in the coming years. This will only hurt American manufacturers that will see a decrease in sales outside the US, regardless of price, due to growing anti-american sentiment. That train has already departed, the only thing Trump can do about that is increase the speed.
