Reindustrializing America
The US is entering a new phase of industrial policy, with reshoring now a central focus for the Trump administration. From semiconductors to steel, Washington is stepping up efforts to rebuild domestic manufacturing, prompting global companies to reassess their US strategies.
Many see a local presence as a hedge against trade uncertainty. But despite headline-making announcements, long-term investment remains cautious. A changing regulatory environment, a potential tax reform and the rollback of previous policies are making strategic decisions more complex. Businesses must weigh short-term risks — including labour shortages and compliance — against longer-term opportunities for growth and resilience.
