That will not happen. Japanese and Korean companies are not building plants in the US. For the most part the plants are 'Turnkey' operations, built by the taxpayers in those states to attract new manufacturing. Not only do thy have to pay off the thirty or fourth year bonds for the plant the state and local taxpayers built vo-tech school in which to train the workers, at taxpayer expense. As far I know the only foreign assemble plant built with corporate money was the GM/Toyota plant in California.
The state of Pennsylvania only recently paid off the bonds that built the VW plant in Westmorland in the late seventies to build the Rabbit only to have VW pull out and leave the state taxpayers holding the bag a few years later. I worked as a field engineer for VW there, They put up a notice on the bulletin boards in the middle of the month to notify us that the would cease operations in two weeks on the first of the month.
If GM goes under do you think Toyota will still build cars in the US once the get their Chinese plant up and running in a few years? I don't
