Anonymous Coward User ID: 1462505 United States 03/18/2017 04:49 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | There is a huge hole in Trump's promise to bring back US manufacturing jobs When Donald Trump was running for president, he said companies should "buy American and hire American." But in manufacturing these days, buying American often means creating jobs for robots, not humans. The story of SoftWear, a sewing-automation company in Atlanta, should throw some cold water on Trump's dreams of returning thousands of Americans to manufacturing jobs. SoftWear started with a group of Georgia Tech professors playing around with robots and became a company because of an earlier "Buy American" push. [ link to www.businessinsider.com] |

Does the 35% tariff apply to that?
I get the feeling it doesn't. |
