Sure, Biden wants that to change. He's leaving it up to the US car manufacturers to expand their infrastructure and build their own components locally. This is a pretty broad strokes bill.
The concerning part is the removal of waivers and using a committee to issue them, that leaves things pretty open to pork barrelling.
