Most of our trade and economy are domestic.

Moreover we reshore the rest [and are] as fast as we can.

We're quite becoming an industrial power again, rapidly reshoring.

The given reasons are war and covid, but it's for the good of the nation and the people.

Most of our foreign trade is Canada and Mexico, BTW.
