I am pleased to announce that, based on the fact the European Union is not complying with our fully agreed to Trade Deal, next week I will be increasing Tariffs charged to the European Union for Cars and Trucks coming into the United States. The Tariff will be increased to 25%. It is fully understood and agreed that, if they produce Cars and Trucks in U.S.A. Plants, there will be NO TARIFF. Many Automobile and Truck Plants are currently under construction, with over 100 Billion Dollars being invested, A RECORD in the History of Car and Truck Manufacturing. These Plants, staffed with American Workers, will be opening soon — There has never been anything like what is happening in America today! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP

Tariffs are only good if you want your Country to be Rich, Influential, and Powerful. If you want your Country to be a Third World Country, you should Vote against Tariffs!
In order to make North Carolina, which has completely lost its furniture business to China, and other Countries, GREAT again, I will be imposing substantial Tariffs on any Country that does not make its furniture in the United States. Details to follow!!! President DJT
Our movie making business has been stolen from the United States of America, by other Countries, just like stealing "candy from a baby." California, with its weak and incompetent Governor, has been particularly hard hit! Therefore, in order to solve this long time, never ending problem, I will be imposing a 100% Tariff on any and all movies that are made outside of the United States. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President DJT
When Foreign Companies who are building extremely complex products, machines, and various other "things," come into the United States with massive Investments, I want them to bring their people of expertise for a period of time to teach and train our people how to make these very unique and complex products, as they phase out of our Country, and back into their land. If we didn't do this, all of that massive Investment will never come in the first place — Chips, Semiconductors, Computers, Ships, Trains, and so many other products that we have to learn from others how to make, or, in many cases, relearn, because we used to be great at it, but not anymore. For example, Shipbuilding, where we used to build a Ship a day and now, we barely build a Ship a year. I don't want to frighten off or disincentivize Investment into America by outside Countries or Companies. We welcome them, we welcome their employees, and we are willing to proudly say we will learn from them, and do even better than them at their own "game," sometime into the not too distant future!
I am proud to announce that, after much consideration and negotiation, US Steel will REMAIN in America, and keep its Headquarters in the Great City of Pittsburgh. For many years, the name, âUnited States Steelâ was synonymous with Greatness, and now, it will be again. This will be a planned partnership between United States Steel and Nippon Steel, which will create at least 70,000 jobs, and add $14 Billion Dollars to the U.S. Economy. The bulk of that Investment will occur in the next 14 months. This is the largest Investment in the History of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. My Tariff Policies will ensure that Steel will once again be, forever, MADE IN AMERICA. From Pennsylvania to Arkansas, and from Minnesota to Indiana, AMERICAN MADE is BACK. I will see you all at US Steel, in Pittsburgh, on Friday, May 30th, for a BIG Rally. CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL!
I have long ago informed Tim Cook of Apple that I expect their iPhoneâs that will be sold in the United States of America will be manufactured and built in the United States, not India, or anyplace else. If that is not the case, a Tariff of at least 25% must be paid by Apple to the U.S. Thank your for your attention to this matter!
The United States has a chance to do something that should have been done DECADES AGO. Donât be Weak! Donât be Stupid! Donât be a PANICAN (A new party based on Weak and Stupid people!). Be Strong, Courageous, and Patient, and GREATNESS will be the result!
Senator Kennedy: âPresident Trump is saying that if you foreign businesses want to sell in America, then move your business here and hire American workers."

Like our Steel and Aluminum Industries, our Great American Copper Industry has been decimated by global actors attacking our domestic production. To build back our Copper Industry, I have requested my Secretary of Commerce and USTR to study Copper Imports, and end Unfair Trade putting Americans out of work. Tariffs will help build back our American Copper Industry, and strengthen our National Defense. American Industries depend on Copper, and it should be MADE IN AMERICA - No exemptions, no exceptions! America First creates American jobs, and protects our National Security. It’s time for Copper to “come home.”
Our incredible United States Economy and undeniable American Spirit have enabled the creation of the Greatest Technology Companies on Earth. Our Digital Economy is bigger than most of the World’s Countries, and the market cap of even one of our Companies exceeds each European Country.Instead of empowering their Workers and creating opportunities, Foreign Governments have instead tried to tax, fine, and hinder American Tech Companies. Both friend and foe have been treating American Tech Companies harshly, as if our Companies are their piggy bank. This will now end! It is my objective to level the playing field, and end these attacks. We are putting these Countries on notice to end their unfair treatment of American Companies, large and small. Our Companies are the Greatest Investors in the World, and their Investments will only go to where America is treated well. Our Ingenuity, Grit, Drive and Perseverance have built America. If these Countries want to participate in the AI Industrial Revolution, it is time to choose sides with America, not against us.
US will be 'flooded with jobs' as foreign nations avoid tariffs, Trump says https://www.foxnews.com/politics/us-flooded-jobs-foreign-nations-avoid-tariffs-trump-says
Why would they want to sell U.S. Steel now when Tariffs will make it a much more profitable and valuable company? Wouldn’t it be nice to have U.S. Steel, once the greatest company in the World, lead the charge toward greatness again? It can all happen very quickly!
The Tariffs, and Tariffs alone, created this vast wealth for our Country. Then we switched over to Income Tax. We were never so wealthy as during this period. Tariffs will pay off our debt and, MAKE AMERICA WEALTHY AGAIN!
I am NOT proposing a National Sales Tax, as the Democrats say in their Advertisements against me. Dems know what they are saying is a blatant lie. I am proposing tariffs on other countries that take advantage of us, hardly a NST. These tariffs are paid for by the abusing country, NOT THE AMERICAN CONSUMER. They do not cause inflation, and will MAKE AMERICA RICH AGAIN!
I hope everyone listened yesterday as Bloomberg interviewed me. For over a year, I’ve said China is building giant plants in Mexico. Since they heard about the Tariffs, all work has STOPPED on those plants. I saved Michigan autoworkers. Detroit will thrive if I’m elected!
Under Kamala, there will be no car industry, no steel industry, no significant manufacturing of any kind—and we will be at risk of military defeat...and I am not going to allow Japan to buy U.S. Steel, 70 years ago the greatest company on earth!
Video transcript
Kamala, there will be no car industry, no steel industry, no significant manufacturing of any kind, and we will be at risk of military defeat. You know that, right? A very simple fact is this. If you don't have steel, you don't have a military. And I'm not going to allow, and I said it before, and I'll say it again, and I got along with a great gentleman, Shinzo Abe from Japan, he was assassinated, he was a great gentleman, but I said, "Shinzo, we have to change our trade deal," and he said to me, "I knew you were going to come with that." I said, "Well, why did you know?" He said, "For 25 years, no American has said that to us. They got away with murder, and we changed the deal, and the deal that we now have is really good, but the deal we're going to have is going to be beyond belief with every, not just with Japan, with every company and every, frankly, with their companies and with their nations. I'm not going to allow Japan to buy U.S. steel. I'm not going to let it happen. Seventy years ago, again, the greatest company on Earth.

Under Radical Democrat policies, the U.S. Auto Industry is being decimated, while China builds massive Automobile Manufacturing facilities in Mexico to pillage our jobs and send their product back into the United States tax free. I stopped it four years ago, and I will stop it again. When I am back in the White House, the way they will sell their product in AMERICA is to BUILD it in AMERICA, and ONLY in AMERICA. We will BUILD AMERICAN, BUY AMERICAN, and HIRE AMERICAN! https://rumble.com/v57pc85-live-president-donald-trump-and-vp-nominee-senator-jd-vance-ingrand-rapids

I want a future that protects American labor, not foreign labor...a future that puts American dreams over foreign profits!
Video transcript
Again, I want a future that protects American labor, not foreign labor. We're going to protect our labor. A future that puts American dreams over foreign profits. A future that raises American wages, that strengthens American industry, that builds national pride, and that defends this country's dignity. And today I add a future that protects, defends, and delivers for the American farmer.

Reclaiming America’s Independence by Slashing Biden’s Disastrous Trade Deficits Created by His Nation-Wrecking Policies! #AGENDA47
The Euro just hit a 20 year low, making it virtually impossible for our companies and businesses to fairly compete. It was manipulated down - Watch how well they will do against the U.S. Yes, very Counterintuitive. This is not good news!
The United States cannot, & will not, become such a difficult place to deal with in terms of foreign countries buying our product, including for the always used National Security excuse, that our companies will be forced to leave in order to remain competitive. We want to sell...
Why is the World Bank loaning money to China? Can this be possible? China has plenty of money, and if they don’t, they create it. STOP!
U.S. Markets are up as much as 21% since the announcement of Tariffs on 3/1/2018 - and the U.S. is taking in massive amounts of money (and giving some to our farmers, who have been targeted by China)!
Today I opened a major Apple Manufacturing plant in Texas that will bring high paying jobs back to America. Today Nancy Pelosi closed Congress because she doesn’t care about American Workers!
General Motors, which was once the Giant of Detroit, is now one of the smallest auto manufacturers there. They moved major plants to China, BEFORE I CAME INTO OFFICE. This was done despite the saving help given them by the USA. Now they should start moving back to America again?
....your companies HOME and making your products in the USA. I will be responding to China’s Tariffs this afternoon. This is a GREAT opportunity for the United States. Also, I am ordering all carriers, including Fed Ex, Amazon, UPS and the Post Office, to SEARCH FOR &, REFUSE,....
Just leaving. Incredible Complex. JOBS! JOBS! JOBS! https://t.co/culShq7aqi
China is intent on continuing to receive the hundreds of Billions of Dollars they have been taking from the U.S. with unfair trade practices and currency manipulation. So one-sided, it should have been stopped many years ago!
France just put a digital tax on our great American technology companies. If anybody taxes them, it should be their home Country, the USA. We will announce a substantial reciprocal action on Macron’s foolishness shortly. I’ve always said American wine is better than French wine!
With almost no inflation, our Country is needlessly being forced to pay a MUCH higher interest rate than other countries only because of a very misguided Federal Reserve. In addition, Quantitative Tightening is continuing, making it harder for our Country to compete. As good.....
Today, on this “USMCA Day of Action,” thousands of grassroots supporters are urging Congress to pass the great bipartisan USMCA. USMCA = more JOBS for American workers, more economic growth, and more OPPORTUNITY for our farmers, ranchers, and businesses. #USMCAnow https://t.co/sYMhKSDu5w
India has long had a field day putting Tariffs on American products. No longer acceptable!
Today’s Stock Market is the highest in the history of our great Country! This is the 104th time since the Election of 2016 that we have reached a NEW HIGH. Congratulations USA!
When our Country had no debt and built everything from Highways to the Military with CASH, we had a big system of Tariffs. Now we allow other countries to steal our wealth, treasure, and jobs - But no more! The USA is doing great, with unlimited upside into the future!
Billions of Dollars, and moving jobs back to the USA where they belong. Other countries are already negotiating with us because they don’t want this to happen to them. They must be a part of USA action. This should have been done by our leaders many years ago. Enjoy!
We can make a deal with China tomorrow, before their companies start leaving so as not to lose USA business, but the last time we were close they wanted to renegotiate the deal. No way! We are in a much better position now than any deal we could have made. Will be taking in.....
Build your products in the United States and there are NO TARIFFS!
....the Border, or large sections of the Border, next week. This would be so easy for Mexico to do, but they just take our money and “talk.” Besides, we lose so much money with them, especially when you add in drug trafficking etc.), that the Border closing would be a good thing!
Aluminum prices are down 12% since I instituted Tariffs on Aluminum Dumping - and the U.S. will be taking in Billions, plus jobs. Nice!
Fiat Chrysler will be adding more than 6,500 JOBS in Michigan (Detroit area), doubling its hourly workforce as part of a 4.5 Billion Dollar investment. Thank you Fiat Chrysler. They are all coming back to the USA, it’s where the action is!
Volkswagen will be spending 800 million dollars in Chattanooga, Tennessee. They will be making Electric Cars. Congratulations to Chattanooga and Tennessee on a job well done. A big win!
.....Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador are doing nothing for the United States but taking our money. Word is that a new Caravan is forming in Honduras and they are doing nothing about it. We will be cutting off all aid to these 3 countries - taking advantage of U.S. for years!
.....close the Southern Border. Bring our car industry back into the United States where it belongs. Go back to pre-NAFTA, before so many of our companies and jobs were so foolishly sent to Mexico. Either we build (finish) the Wall or we close the Border......
Hopefully OPEC will be keeping oil flows as is, not restricted. The World does not want to see, or need, higher oil prices!
