A short commentary arguing that under Trump’s tariffs, foreign manufacturers face a choice: pay tariffs or relocate production to the U.S. The speaker claims firms prefer non-union (typically ‘red’) states because lower labor costs make those states more attractive than union (‘blue’) states, so new factories are locating in red states rather than blue ones.

Whole thing is that this is going to be the deal going forward with Trump. He'll say, you pay a tariff or you move your factory to the United States. And quite frankly, this has a lot of implications to it, because in the United States, there's two types of states. There's union states and non union states. And when the people from the other countries are building their factories in the United States, they say, hmm, it costs us this much if we're in a union state, costs us this much if we're in a non union. So all this manufacturing in that is coming into red states, not blue states.
