The original article is in the Wall Street Journal. I can't forward their articles. 

I'd rate their reporting on this as pretty unbiased. It would be easy, and inaccurate, to somehow credit Trump with this event. But it turns out that the upswing runs counter to tariffs, etc. The economic sectors that are growing are the same ones where imports are GROWING. So it's not a matter of the US cutting down on imports with tariffs. It's a matter of certain sectors growing and the US participating in that growth. 

So the secret sauce, per the WSJ, is for the US to do what it does well. If the gov't is going to help advance things, work WITH the tide, not against it.
