The US struggles to build anything these days. Its financialised itself into a state of near complete incompetence. It no longer has the industrial supply chains and skilled engineers and technicians to build strategic infrastructure like nuclear power. China took US nuclear designs, tweaked them and is not building Dozens of them at 1/6th the cost the US can. Electricity is the lifeblood of the modern industrial and post industrial (AI) economy and China has won hands down across power generation and efficiency. USA is a dying dinosaur. Trump deserve credit for trying to get the US back into the role of building actual useful things (instead of golf courses and endless bullshit financial derivatives) but decades of neglect leaves the USA wayyyyyyyy behind China in terms of its ability to build anything much in a competitive manner. It takes decades to build, or rebuild such capacity. Sure get started now, but I doubt it will be enough to head of the huge lead China now has.
