I suppose he doesn't realise the huge energy input required, and which the US lacks, to produce aluminium.

They're not coming back, you doofus. It's not just a case of relocating manufacturing, you also would need to massively expand US baseload, and that is not happening. I mean, you cough in the direction of Texas and their entire grid collapses.

These are not protectionist tariffs. He's not trying to encourage US manufacturing.

He's trying to get other countries to bend the knee, and abandon their right to regulate their economy and their environment.
