WHAT THIS ISWashington is layering tariffs, CHIPS/IRA-style subsidies, and procurement mandates to pull semiconductor, pharmaceutical, battery, and heavy-industry production back onshore. Announced factory investments have surged, but the gap between groundbreakings and operational output—hampered by labor shortages, permitting, and input dependence on China—remains the live question.
