US President Donald Trump told world business leaders on Thursday to manufacture in the United States or face tariffs, in his first major speech to global leaders since returning to the White House this week. … “Come make your product in America and we will give you among the lowest taxes of any nation on earth,” Trump said today, speaking remotely to the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland.
“But if you don’t make your product in America, which is your prerogative, then very simply you will have to pay a tariff,” he added.
I’d rather we make our own products and stop trading with the US altogether.
Agreed. Also from the US perspective. Global trade should be for bespoke high-quality regional goods, not commodities. There is basically nothing from China that the US gets that should be made in China and shipped to the US.
