Return of manufacturing unrealistic

With the United States about to undergo a power transition, people are wondering whether the incoming administration of Donald Trump will take over the baton from the outgoing Barack Obama administration and finish the latter's unfulfilled dream of bringing its outsourced manufacturing back to the US.

Trump's resolve to revitalize manufacturing in the US should not be underrated, but such an ambitious goal is by no means an overnight task.

Considering that Trump's victory was largely due to the support he won from the majority of US grassroots voters, it is expected that after coming to office he will take "big actions" to fulfill his promises to revive manufacturing in the country and considerably increase employment.
