“Before the Trade War: A Better Way to Boost U.S. Manufacturing”

———————

We didn’t have to start a global trade war to rebuild American industry.

This week on The Arrogant Independent, we break down a smarter path that could’ve prevented the backlash now facing the U.S. economy and its allies.

Instead of blanketing the world in tariffs, what if we:

➤ Focused only on China’s unfair trade practices

➤ Partnered with allies to rebuild supply chains

➤ Invested in semiconductors, EVs, and pharmaceuticals

➤ Protected the U.S. dollar’s global role

➤ Created upstream + downstream American jobs?

This is the playbook Washington ignored — and it might still not be too late.
