another issue is that at least in the short term, the "made in america" sticker is likely to be detrimental in many foreign markets

so, it might make sense for US companies selling to US customers, if they can find suppliers. but even in the cases where it works for that market, multinational companies might prefer a "made in taiwan" or "made in mexico" sticker, or they might prefer to leave the sticker off
