I don't think they meant it that way.
What do they mean? I have no idea lol
We're a shit country run by psychopath billionaires and morons and so countries are outright boycotting all US companies.
Us Canucks have been boycotting U.S. products since the first round of tariffs.

Having to pay tariffs. Sending money to a country with an adversarial government. And it's not even made in the US.
Unless there is some behind the scenes stuff not in the us they seem to be made in the us, probably material import costs maybe.
From their website:
"We will only be working with factories that pass a series of internationally-recognized certifications and audits."
"We produce items in the US as well as abroad"
Why would a US factory need internationally recognized certifications? That kind of thing is meant to prevent unsafe sweatshop conditions in South-East Asia. Also they're not specifying how much of their products are made in the US. If I went through the trouble to make 90% of the products domestically I would like to share that. So the balance is most likely leaning towards the other direction.
Oddly enough very product I checked said it was handmade in the US. So which products are made abroad?
I don't want to be a A-hole over this. It's cool they're doing this, and seem to have their hearts in the right place. But I've seen too much shit in this space to believe things at face value.
