    They’re built in Taiwan though right so realistically them being the US company is more to do with where their officers are based. So they really could just move.

    It would screw over the people who work there of course.

      The company are designers and engineers, not factory workers, they don’t have staff in Taiwan, they put their orders there. Unless they move all the people, thry can’t really move that easily.

      And pay tariffs for chips etc still coming from Taiwan? (There are not enough chip fabs in US so that US still will be dependent on Taiwan just paying US government some premium. And the few chips coming from US will just match prices of imported chips)
