I'm behind the WSJ pay wall, but even only being able to read the first two paragraphs, I can already tell this is MAGA-related:

quote:

Nissan Motor Co.’s chief executive said the company believes it will need to build a new plant in the U.S. in four or five years, when the car maker would be ready for another push to expand.

Normally, that plant would be built in any of the Nafta countries, “but in the current situation we are more inclined to invest in the U.S.,” said Hiroto Saikawa, Nissan’s chief executive, at the Detroit auto show.

Is it more cost effective for a manufacturer to select a new site and build an all new operation, staff it, etc, or just expand an existing location?

They'll likely complain the plant is most likely to end up in a right to work state and the jobs will be non-union and low paying.

Meanwhile, in reality, 1000s of Americans get a good job earning a decent wage.

I have no expertise in this matter but it does seem that the more centralized with your employees in one place, you put your staff at greater risk of union manipulation. In other words: as they add greater numbers, their leverage increases.

There’s a mothballed gm plant in Shreveport that would likely be easy to retrofit.
