Oh I understood but passed and past are two different words. You used the word passed in your post, so I was wondering if you actually meant to say passed or past, because the sentence would have a very different meaning, with each word.
Not really we import almost all of our hitech manufacturing machines, especially from the European Union. By the time someone built something to speck you are talking a long time, to say nothing of the tariffs on steel , aluminum and copper now...
Sure, I realize there's way more to the story. Would they have I port the machinery? Machinery can be built to spec so maybe a US company could build it for them. Would it be cheaper than importation with tarrifs - I don't know.
Meaning...if they built them here, they wouldn't have to pay tarrifs on the drones. The same way Toyota, Nissan, and other foreign based auto manufacturers who built factories here are not paying tariffs in what's built here.
If they look at health care here, I doubt they would believe he offer of lifetime coverage.
The mining of rare earths on Greenland is much harder than many think the weather is brutal, only two semi operating mines now.
