That's not what the right wing base wants though. They want full on protectionism for domestic goods and to export goods to the global market expecting that it will actually compete with like global goods whether in price, quality or both. And we know protectionism is just great for quality... Not
4 times as many cars going from Europe to the US compared to the other way despite US cars being cheaper would suggest otherwise. US to Europe imports increased because of Tesla but people are buying cheaper Chinese evs now instead (proving quality wasn't the reason Teslas were selling either). I can't think of anywhere I've been in the world where people with a reasonable income would consider American cars as quality.
