Trump is fond of Gulf Monarchies and Israel. Isnt that C-17 or other planes landing in Arab managed Airspace in Afghanistan or that B-2 arrival in Diego Garcia. I would think Trump has idea about an Arabic empire that already has huge influence around the world. that gives Trump more wiggle room to disrespect other countries.

India may gains jobs but not much added value as much of the valued supply chains will be from other countries. This is similar to Apple's operation in China except that China is a much larger market (for Apple) albeit diminishing. Apple is looking after its own interests (maximum profit) not American jobs. Apple made in India for export to the US with very little monetary gain (for India) while disproportionately enlarge its surplus with the US is not necessary a good thing for India. But once Trump is not the POTUS, conditions may become more favourable. And Apple may worries about some potential unintended brand damage too.
With references to the supply chains, infrastructures, logistics, skilled labour and automation, maybe Taiwan would be a better option even with a higher tariffs. 32% vs 26%.
Simple search on google.
Both Russia and Ukraine have mercenaries from various countries. Damn it, there are even American mercenaries fighting for Russia (and some Western-wannabe Chinese for Ukraine)—why isn't Zelensky making a big deal about that? He's just exploiting the window of Trump's trade war with China to create bargaining chips for gaining attention from Trump (and certain anti-China Western nations).

Well to be fair it's fucking Jaguar, if they leave US it's one of a few very rare Ws for Trump.
It's like when Jamie Oliver decided to close restaurants in Russia after the war started. Let's not pretend that wasn't a pure buff to Russia.
China should write Jaguar: "nooo don't leave, you need to expand your business in US, sell them more
China did hold out a lot during 2010s. Not really the case anymore though, most J-20s and J16 were produced after 2020 after expansion of Chengdu and Shenyang production plants and same goes with nuclear submarines. Also, there isn't any military threat to China at all, US can't even bring its carriers close to China because of hypersonic missiles and US destroyers still mostly use PESA radars. They might have thousands of 4th gen, but China has thousands of missiles that could shoot them down.
So basically Trump and his goons say that other countries need to build factories in the US and invest there. So America have become a 3rd world nation now?
Then they also say that they can import substitute items with locally manufactured goods. Yeah, but they have been talking about this since day one of Trump 1.0. How much have they progressed since?
Even if they do force foreign firms to build factories and invest. Even if they build new manufacturing plants for import substitution. It's not like they are automatically gonna work wonders. There arent enough skilled or lower paying workforce who would be able to staff these factories. TSMC Arizona had to staff the core workforce of their plant with Taiwanese. And then Trump had also cut the education budget. So how exactly is America gonna build a skilled workforce in future? The most that America can really supply is low-skilled prison labour.
To me, Trump America doesn't sound like the old USA. That sounds alot like a certain Supapowar that we all love and had many good times talking about. Therefore we are also gonna have good times talking about Trump America.
So ,I as an HR Manager for the New American Factories I will see many fired Federal people with qualifications like: nuclear engineer,PHD's in virology,microbiology,chemical,civil ,mechanical,ceramic engineers,metallurgists,doctors of all types,biologists etc types,designers,mathematicians,physicists etc just waiting to fill my vacancies in my factories making shoes,press machines,garment shops,???I won't know who to choose
