Driving a 2026 Ioniq 9 SUV around the Hyundai Motor Group Metaplant in Georgia can feel like a victory lap for the South Korean automaker. Hyundai’s electric flagship carves out room for three America-centric rows of seats, from a booming brand whose EVs and hybrids already make up one in every four US sales. Even better, the Ioniq 9 and smaller Ioniq 5 are emerging from a futuristic new factory in America, giving Hyundai a defensible bulwark against the tariffs and onshoring fervor of Donald T

President Trump’s chaotic implementation of new tariffs has roiled markets and wrecked decades of international cooperation and free trade agreements. At the heart of these actions, and one of the motivating forces of his political movement, is the belief that the de-industrialization of the U.S. economy can somehow be reversed by protectionist trade policies. Unfortunately, this is not going to work. Manufacturing’s share of the U.S. economy has been falling since the 1940s. While the decline
