As President Trump's trade war expands, one slogan gaining traction -- "Made in the USA" -- is no longer just a pitch, it's a rallying cry. Ash-har Quraishi reports.

Washington

Amid expanding trade tensions, the slogan "Made in the USA" has become a rallying point for both businesses and consumers. Companies like WeatherTech emphasize domestic manufacturing, controlling their supply chains and sourcing materials within the United States. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) enforces strict guidelines, requiring that products labeled as made in the USA be all or virtually all manufactured domestically. Since 2021, the FTC has notified dozens of companies for improper use of the label, and some, such as Reynolds Aluminum Foil, are facing lawsuits over misleading claims. Consumer watchdog groups argue that deceptive labeling harms both consumers and honest businesses, prompting the FTC to strengthen its rules and enforcement. The push for transparency is seen as increasingly important as tariffs and trade policies draw more attention to product origins and costs.

The push for honest "Made in USA" labels

Tonight, President Trump is turning up the heat, sending tariff warning letters to six smaller U.S. trading partners, including the Philippines and Algeria. As his trade war expands, one slogan is gaining traction. Made in the USA, no longer just a pitch, it is now a rallying cry. Here's CBS's Asher Qureshi with tonight's In Depth. This is what they're going to get is the best floor liner on the planet. David McNeil, founder of WeatherTech, is serious about manufacturing his products in the United States. We love having American workers and we love having our factories right here on American soil. Nearly 40 years ago, McNeil began importing car floor mats, eventually shifting to designing and manufacturing his products here in suburban Chicago. He now employs more than 1,300 workers who wear patriotism on their sleeves. Last year, the company brought in more than $900 million in revenue. How do you do that when it's so much cheaper to make things outside of the United States? It's not about the money, it's about the principle. And the principle is, manufacture here. Do the best job you can, harness great American technology and the great American worker. WeatherTech controls all aspects of its manufacturing supply chain, including domestically sourced petroleum and materials for its molds. All our tooling is made from either aluminum from America or steel from America. The Federal Trade Commission requires that products advertised as made in the USA be all or virtually all manufactured domestically, and the ingredients or components must be made and sourced in the United States. Since 2021, the agency has notified 57 companies about improperly using the label. Other companies have faced lawsuits by consumers. Reynolds Aluminum Foil is currently fighting a class action suit claiming it's falsely advertised as made in the USA, even though its main raw material, bauxite, is not mined in the U.S. Reynolds says the claims have no merit, and it will defend the case. Made in the USA can cost more, frequently it does, and certainly now consumers are fearful that it will. For that reason, it's really important that the phrase is non-deceptive. Laura Smith is legal director for the consumer watchdog group Truth in Advertising. This harms not only consumers, but it harms honest businesses trying to compete with companies who are lying to consumers about the origin of their products. With tariffs putting more attention on where products are coming from and how much they cost, David McNeil says keeping companies honest is more important than ever. Being deceptive and saying it's made in America when it's not is not fair, and so people should just tell the truth. Truth in Advertising successfully lobbied the FTC to create new rules in 2021, codifying the all or virtually all standard, which has made it easier to find violators.
