Trump initiated a global tariff war in an attempt to encourage manufacturing to return to the United States. Will it actually work? And under Trump's tariff storm, has the Foxconn factory in Wisconsin, which Trump once called the "benchmark for manufacturing returning to the U.S." and the so-called "eighth wonder of the world," achieved the return of manufacturing? Please see the on-site visit by reporters from Phoenix Television:
At the site of the Foxconn American factory, the reporter saw large areas of idle land in the factory zone, indicating that related projects are lagging behind.
In addition, according to local people, the factory was originally designed to produce TV screens, but later changed to producing mobile phone screens, which traditionally require more precise work and more employees. However, the main road leading to the main entrance of the Foxconn is currently in a long-term closed state, indicating that the number of local employees is not enough to use the main road or the main entrance; they can enter through the side door instead.
This situation also corroborates the earlier statement by former U.S. Treasury Secretary Yellen, who believed that Trump's claim of bringing manufacturing back to the U.S. is unfeasible or even impossible.
As for whether Trump can really bring manufacturing back to the U.S., locals are also skeptical.
