Access to the richest single market in the world ?

But that only works if you compare the US with other single countries. The EEA is similar to the US, China will be larger than the US, India will be larger than the US. Any of those combine and you loose by a factor of 2, etc

Tariffs aren't bans. They still have access to the US market, US consumers are just forced to pay higher taxes for these goods.

If these tariffs continue for 30 years, it's hard to know if we'd still be the largest single market in the world.

That's not going to be true after your facilities are built.

How long do they stay the richest single market in the world if rest of the global world are producing and trading at greater efficiency while the US are facing large short term supply disruptions, higher costs and reciprocal trading tariffs on their exports?
