Nobody needs the current round of tariffs regardless of that. This is a completely made-up situation.

JB Smuckers does. They lobbied hard for tarrifs and donated heavily to Trump.

Imported jam like Bonne Maman has been killing them. They claim it’s due to unfair pricing or something, but I suspect it’s because of the HFCS, trans fats and other crap they’ve put in their products over the years.

There are other reasons businesses might go to other locales other than price. Capability is the obvious big one, some capabilities aren’t possible at any price. Regulatory environment is another.
