The United States’ objective is to reduce dependence on China, in what is called the “decoupling” of its economy. The increasing tensions surrounding Taiwan, trade barriers, and China’s growing influence in the world have given the United States enough reasons to rethink how its economy distributes its supply chains.

Nearshoring for the USA involves the relocation operations to Mexico or other countries in Central or South America. This trend is also expected to reach countries like Argentina, Brazil, and Colombia.
