WASHINGTON, D.C., May 3, 2025 — As economic volatility continues to concern many Americans, Nestpoint’s Managing Director John Thomas joined Newsmax to weigh in on what President Trump’s bold trade strategy could mean for U.S. manufacturing—and why this may signal a long-term win for the American economy.

In a segment that focused on shrinking 401(k)s and broader market anxiety, Thomas emphasized that while the current economic uncertainty presents real challenges, it’s part of a much larger and unprecedented effort to "rebalance the global order of trade." According to Thomas, the impact is already being felt through significant shifts in manufacturing strategies.

“At Nestpoint, we advise international corporations and conglomerates on their supply chains,” Thomas said. “We’re already seeing dozens of multi-billion-dollar conglomerates reonshoring production to the United States. There’s no scenario in which they would have done this if not for President Trump’s bold tariff stance.”

Thomas acknowledged that while some companies are purchasing existing manufacturing facilities and will begin operations within a quarter, others are starting from scratch—meaning the full return on investment will unfold in phases. However, he noted that billions in construction and related job investments are already flowing into the U.S. economy, creating near-immediate benefits.

Looking ahead, Thomas expressed cautious optimism regarding the labor market, pointing to deregulation and growing energy investments as additional forces driving job growth.

“In a year’s time, we’ll likely see meaningful job increases from all this investment,” he added.

Nestpoint is proud to be at the center of this industrial shift, providing strategic counsel to corporations navigating evolving trade policies and investing in America’s economic future.
