I’m just replying to the “quality and cost” part of your post, which are inherently paired. Yes some products just don’t exist being made in the US, but if the store has a product that costs twice as much made domestically sitting next to a foreign product of the same or close enough quality, the price alone will dictate which they choose. This is often why domestically made versions of products aren’t available without a special order (which is even more expensive) and where tariffs are supposed to be used.

Hard to match cost when labor rights such as minimum wage exist, maybe Trump and Elon will get rid of those too though.

often times the “American made” product will just have worse quality and cost more
