And are susceptible to interference. Samsung is also building huge manufacturing infrastructure in the US.

But then US interference most directly affects US jobs and customers. That’s a much better er situation.

Think of car manufacturers that have done this for decades. They may have a global supply chain, heading mostly back to their home country, but they also have worldwide plants near their customers.

The result has been almost entirely good.
