Actually, it's not so much where it's manufactured, but more so where it's sold from. I think that's the most common misconception. The X-box One is manufactured in China, but it's still an American product since its parent company is an American company. That's where it becomes an import to other countries regardlesss of where it's manufactured.

Trump was talking about applying a tariff on Ford products made in Mexico. Ford is an American company. The whole purpose is to force American corporations to bring manufacturing jobs back.
Though, probably no one would do it. It would cost billions to move production to the United States. Why do that when they can just raise prices and point to Trump as the reason? The net effect is that Americans would just have to pay more.
