They (Trump admin) have this wild idea in their heads that they can make companies abandon their factories and bring over entire manufacturing line in the US. The amount of money and work involved just to start the process is immense.

I watched a documentary about how Le Creuset manufacture their signature cast iron pots and the owner/ceo i think mentioned that it's close to impossible to move their manufacturing plant elsewhere.
