but ryandrake's comment might be the solution to what trump/republicans/rust-belt wants:

1. employment-rate for Americans. 2. bringing back industrial capacity in US.

If large companies are forced to recycle/repair INSIDE USA, that ultimately means employment for Americans, and bringing back industrial capacity back to US.

(which could mean forcing Chinese manufacturers settings up whole industrial complexes in US...)

btw, this would be a much easier/lesser-side-effect measure than "tariff on everyone" situation
