    If you’re in the US you won’t. Guarantee that Trump will slap enough tariffs on them that they’re more expensive than current prices.

      Should still put pressure on the big 3 to drop prices HOPEFULLY. Because those of us not in the US will enjoy actual competition.

          Sure, actually I’ve been to Canada twice and haven’t yet been to Mexico.

          Though nowadays I live quite far from Canada and also I’ve been learning Spanish quite successfully so I see going to Mexico as more likely in the near future

      More supply should still lower prices, even if Trump puts tariffs on Chinese dram/nand. While there might be some quality differences in the end dram/nand still is a commodity good that is for the most part interchangeable (assuming it meets some standards).

      So China would just supply everyone else leaving more capacity from other manufacturers like micron for the US.

        Micron is an American company and does manufacture in the US in addition to multiple other countries actually.

        Not sure if the Koreans do any of their DRAM or NAND manufacturing in the US and too lazy to google at this point
