Well, the problem here is time. Trump (and the electoral cycle tbh) is so goddamn volatile and supply chains take so long to organize, that a change really is as good as a rest in this case. By the time they manage to re-organize supply chains and get new domestic supply off the ground, it'll be three or four years from now probably, and at the rate things are changing, who fucking knows what things will look like by then. It's just as possible that all this tariff stuff ends tomorrow as it is to persist, so it's safer all around to wait and see.
