I would be very surprised if this is the result, but I'm willing to be very surprised.

For now, though, the manufacturing company that I work for, as well as a couple of others I know about, are likely going to close their facilities in the US because of these tariffs. It's simply not economically feasible to pay a tax every time we ship materials from one plant to another in a different country.

If they can't operate efficiently in the US, then they're looking at just ignoring the US market entirely. The rest of the world is a plenty large enough market to address.
