Interesting to see Trump intent on bringing manufacturing jobs back to the US. What will this mean for the US market in telescopes & eyepieces?

So much equipment is designed in the US and manufactured elsewhere as per Televue. Other fine equipment is completely made elsewhere, like Vixen & Taks.

Will US amateurs loose access to the best that the world has to offer? Will we in turn see more expensive equipment coming from the US? Or it could be the reverse, US manufactures overproduce for a domestic market not prepared to pay the higher prices, and thus that equipment is dumped at cheap prices on to the world market.

Interesting days ahead....
