~~In~~ I'm afraid that train already left the station. It also leaves EU behind. The only thing that protects Western industry today are automobile industry protecting tariffs.
I mean... With the US falling as a leader, does it even matter? It's juts a stab to a bleeding beast.
Having a domestic industry requires a balance of unity. It's nice that fellow citizens have nice jobs, but the rest need decent value cars. Cleaner air and a sustainable planetary civilization, are part of the value proposition.
But having domestic industry is rarely a national security requirement. Australia gave up on a car industry, and have higher per capita income than Canada. A bigger difference on ex transportation income.
