If I'm not mistaken on average US cars require 6 border crossings for assembly...
Yeah that's an industry I have some experience in and it sounds low actually. Polymers can be made anywhere from China or Japan to Canada, and there are more distinct polymers than you think in cars. Then aluminum is from Canada. Steel is from Canada, Japan, or America. If it's sewn you bet your ass that happened in Mexico at the closest. Then plenty of components are assembled in the great lakes region, regardless of borders.
Oh and the heavy machines can come from all over as well. That's an area America excels at, we're a superpower built on engineering capabilities. But you know who else is great at building heavy machinery? Germany, Denmark, Japan, the Netherlands, Canada, and even Czechia…
We do a ton of manufacturing and resource extraction in America, but supply chains are global
I meant from Canada to the US only, sorry if that wasn't clear
