“If they complain, if you want your tariff rate to be zero, then you build your product right here in America,” he said. “There is no tariff if you build your plant, your product in America. And we’ve seen companies coming in like we’ve never seen before,” he added.
Why does Trump say tariffs are necessary?
According to Trump, these tariffs will protect the U.S. economy from foreign countries that have been taking advantage of American trade policies. “Tariffs give our country protection against those that would do U.S. economic harm,” he said. “Maybe not so obviously, but they were doing tremendous economic harm,” he added.
He also claimed that the tariffs would help the economy grow. “These tariffs are going to give us growth like you haven’t seen before,” he said.
