The main issue with any of this is that you need some level of trust to exchange money for security. By throwing Ukraine under the bus we now have a Europe that wants to further distance itself from US protection. Additionally the tariffs are probably going to have similar effect with the manufacturing side.
Not that I have a problem with the US building up more manufacturing, but this economic shift seems likely to fail if it’s really their strategy.
