TARIFFS!
Video transcript
My favorite word -- tariff! (Applause.) And one of the things I'm going to do -- I'll give you this as a little insight. I just announced that in Pittsburgh. I didn't think I'd ever -- it's become a very big story already, so -- we're going to tell Mexico you're killing tremendous numbers of our people by allowing China to send their fentanyl through your system and through your country. And we're going to give them a little period of time. But we don't want drugs coming across our border -- or any border. (Applause.) And whether it's Mexico or Canada or wherever -- because they're starting now in Canada; they're starting to go up north. But whether it's Mexico or Canada, we're going to explain to them quickly that if you allow fentanyl and these drugs to come through -- through your country -- we're going to charge you large-scale tariffs on everything you send into the United States. (Applause.) And they're making a lot of money in the United States. They couldn't exist without us. So we're going to do that. And we're going to tell China that if you continue to send fentanyl to Mexico or anyplace else that comes into our country, we're going to charge you a 25 percent tariff on everything you sell into the United States of America. We're not going to let -- we can't let them -- (Applause.) -- and you've never heard that from anybody but me. And I've had it in my mind for a long time, but I didn't want to tell these guys about it because they had only screwed up like they do everything else. But I say it now because now -- because now we have the election coming up in a matter of hours, hours, hours. (Applause.) And we're not going to let them destroy our country.
