Maquiladora

These were the first jobs shifted from North America to the Pacific Rim and all of it was just moved from the U.S. & Canada to Mexico. Same globalist maths you're not hearing about these days either.

Fender, Taylor &c company trucks are going and coming between Mexico & the States 5-6 days/week. The Mexican tariffs will be the ones to watch instead.

Unless buying Chinese is a goal in and of itself, the basic two-step of price range and shopping/playing around isn't going to change. There will always a lot more variety/overlap at the bottom than the top.
