Most everything with a PCB is made in Asia. Less to no regulations on how you
deal with all the caustic chemicals.

From what i read this morning the goal is to diversify their partners so not
to depend on one source... Germany and other European countries are offering
Mexico trade deals aggressively. I have no confidence in Trump's knowledge of
NAFTA and foreign trade, except maybe on how get his cheap labor clothing line
produced. Hopefully this guy (quoting Bernie) will hire competent folks and
not his lackey brown nosing group. Ford is going ahead with expansion into
Mexico without cutting US jobs. These are business decisions not political
ones. BTW... You Canopy guys ever know where most of that line was
manufactured?

The flaw in all plans to develop "better" trading partners than the US is
the as a nation we consume more crap of every kind than anyone. It is difficult
to develop enough relationships to replace that if not impossible. There are
nations with similiar transportation costs to major consumers that have an even
cheaper labor rate than Mexico. It was only a few years ago Mexico was whining
about Vietnam and its labor rates.

Ex President Fox spearheading a group to open trade with more countries
and stop depending on US. They are going into Arab countries, India and South
America... Right now 85% of their imports are from US.. This shift to importing
from other than US is going to impact us for sure. He is quoting Abe Lincoln.
He is much more worldly and intelligent than elected dude. Plus their
weather girls are hotter.
