You can't count on ICE to not deport you to El Salvador, so you don't dare go to check out prospective investments in person.

If you invest in a plant in the US, the trade war might be still raging in three years, if you are lucky to get a plant operational by then. That could mean that you can't export to the world. You'd be better advised to build a plant in Canada and export to the world and be ready to export to the US when sanity returns in 2029.

Canada has free trade agreements with all G7 partners, the only country with that distinction.
