I’m not sure what your last sentence is saying. To the question, an example would be resource extraction and refinement. The United States has no less appetite for the materials but denies permits locally in favor of other countries doing the work. Regardless of what you think about reasoning and justification, this is an example of pushing dirty work to another country. Similarly, policies on labor, safety, environmental protection make a lot of manufacturing and textile work relatively untenable in the United States relative to the developing world. These are policies of the nation. Individual politicians are not really relevant to the point.
