The issue is that the US now wants to have the cake and eat it too. Trump wants the rest of the world to subsidize the US industry. It'll be interesting how this will pan out.
You say "interesting" but as a US resident, I say "terrifying."
Biden showed a great way to subsidize industry and catalyzed the biggest expansion of building factories in generations, in forward-looking sectors that will reduce the cost of energy for all future generations in the US, providing us security and reducing the chance of another inflation spike like that caused by Russia starting wars that threaten the energy supply.
All that nascent industry is at risk of being thrown away for being too "woke" all so that we can send all the fired NCI cancer research to factories for assembling iPhones. From pipetting to tiny screws may be slightly related job skills, but it's capturing the least possible value from a generation of highly trained workers...
