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’m also going to ask Saudi Arabia and Opec to bring down the cost of oil

    We don’t deserve our outrageous amounts of wealth and oil, i hope one day it will dry up and just convince people that living under an autocratic monarchy isn’t so great (who would’ve thought??? 🤯)

      I think the more salient thing here is they’ll just tell him no.

      I think Trump and his people are soon going to find that manufacturers need the U.S. a lot less than they think they do.
