“We’ll rebuild manufacturing —by enforcing a real Buy American plan. President Trump made empty promises to American manufacturers that he simply didn’t keep. I’ll require the federal government’s $600 billion in annual purchasing power be used on American companies with American workers, with supply chains running through American towns.

We’ll rebuild our roads, bridges and ports with American steel. We’ll rebuild crumbling schools and construct 1.5 million new affordable homes with American workers. We’ll eliminate the Trump tax loopholes that incentivize companies to move jobs overseas, and forge a future that’s truly made in America. All told, Moody’s Analytics projects that my plan will create 7 million more jobs and $1 trillion more in economic growth than President Trump’s proposals.

But we know that this election is about much more than policy. America’s character is on the ballot.”

I really like this part.

change and bring a lot of the money back.

On edit and after some more research, it appears to me Trump’s tax law really did a lot to reward businesses for moving jobs overseas. One such article:

a new tax credit so yes Trump did exactly that...he lost more manufacturing jobs in three years than you can imagine. I live in Ohio. When you combine this with the jobs lost due to tariffs on China, We lost many manufacturing jobs in Ohio even before the pandemic.
