What is Intra-firm trade? Why might US firms be interested in
investing abroad, setting up affiliates, producing parts and
components of their products, and import from their own affiliates?

components and export those to the US? Clarify your answer by using
the example of the American Apparel manufacturers who get their
garments made abroad in their affiliates and then sew their own
labels and sell those finished garments...
