You could relocate 100% of manufacturing to America, but those goods would then be being made with tariffed materials, so the price wouldn't go down, in fact it would go up as corps mark their products up to recoup the costs of building new factories, to say nothing of the surcharge for the 'made in America' sticker they slap on as rubes celebrate the privilege of paying more for less.
