> How much all the imports are realistically going to be made in the US?

For some of the hardest hit locations, very little. The US would have to invade and claim other countries to start producing, for instance, vanilla or coffee (the US essentially doesn't produce vanilla, and for coffee we grow less than a percent of what we consume). But Madagascar got hit with 47% tariffs.

Greenland? You'd have an easier time growing coffee in Illinois or Iowa

Panama? And do you think if he takes one place that’ll be the last of that behavior?
