We're not going back to self sufficient tribal societies. Stuff like semiconductors or iphones wouldn't exist if every country tried to be self sufficient and cut out from trade the countries they don't like.

You'll still be dependent on trading with comunist China and barbaric oil rich countries like Saudi Arabia who beheaded your Journalists, because they have stuff you need and can't get anywhere else, no matter how much you dislike them.

There's idealistic fantasy politic for the political speeches to the unwashed masses, and then there's Realpolitik on which the world actually runs where our leaders do backroom deals with the devil in order for the line to go up.

At least in Europe we don't pretend those states are something else, throwing out ridiculous tariffs for bringing impossible manufacturing processes back home.

Those banana and ananas fields in mainland US will be a great landscape.
