President Trump is prioritizing America by implementing reciprocal tariffs, a concept with bipartisan support. Trump aims to reverse decades of being the "world's ATM," referencing his 1988 concerns about trade imbalances with Japan and other countries not paying their fair share. The US has become overly reliant on adversaries like China, even for essential items like pharmaceuticals. Between 2020 and 2022, US imports of China-based pharmaceuticals grew by 485%. China now owns the American generic drug supply. Trump is implementing discounted reciprocal tariffs, charging China half of what they charge the US. Critics predict economic disaster, but Trump supporters argue these tariffs are essential for long-term independence and are already incentivizing investment in American factories. Critics accuse Trump of promising to lower the high cost of living, but now, quote, crashing the economy. Countering claims that Trump will cut Social Security, supporters say he explicitly stated he would not. The speaker claims the media lies about Trump, while Americans support his actions.

This isn't a trade war, but a balancing of our economy with countries that have taken advantage of us for decades, getting rich over the backs of American workers. Unfair trade deals have caused the loss of manufacturing jobs, with production moving overseas and then being sold back to the U.S. Countries need access to the U.S. economy, the largest and greatest in the world, but it's costing manufacturing jobs. It is time for someone to stand up, and President Trump is applauded for being the first president to stand up and address this. It's about the future of America's economy. Trade deficits have increased year after year, and President Trump is finally doing something about it.

I claim to be the chosen one, stating that China has made $500 billion by ripping off the United States through intellectual property theft and other means. I believe someone had to take action, so I am taking on China in trade. And the good news is, we are winning.

The Treasury Secretary discusses the president's new tariff regime, calling it transformational for the American economy and a realignment for the Republican party. He compares it to Reagan's economic policies, emphasizing the need to re-industrialize and prioritize Main Street over Wall Street. The Secretary argues that tariffs are a tool to push back against unfair economic systems and incentivize companies to bring manufacturing back to the US. He suggests that tariff income could be used to lower taxes for the middle class. He believes the US has the labor force needed for this transition, especially with AI and automation. He addresses concerns about the market's reaction, attributing declines more to tech stock issues than the president's policies. He acknowledges the challenges of forecasting economic effects due to factors like illegal immigration and AI, but expresses confidence in the new direction. He highlights the need to avoid a financial calamity and criticizes the Federal Reserve's focus on issues like climate change. He notes China's unbalanced economy and the potential for a deal where the US manufactures more and consumes less, while China does the opposite. He also discusses the situation in Ukraine, expressing hope for a signed economic agreement. He states that the administration is unified behind the president's vision and committed to a strong dollar policy.

Do it. The tariffs are said to be bringing in a lot of additional revenue, which, the speaker states, is being used to give tax relief to the American people and make it easier for average Americans to get by. So

Under Joe Biden's policies, trade deficits have been increasing, leading to job losses and economic damage. Last year, the US lost $383 billion to China and nearly $1 trillion worldwide, the largest trade deficit in history. These losses result in China gaining more jobs, victories, and long-term prosperity, while also using the money to strengthen their military. This path of subservience and economic ruin is being laughed at by other countries. In contrast, during my presidency, tariffs on China and other countries led to job creation, wage growth, and the opening of 17,000 new factories. Under my leadership, we will end these job-killing deficits, regain independence, and experience a great economic boom. Thank you.

The world has been cheating the U.S. for decades with tariffs and non-tariff barriers like VAT taxes, dumping, currency manipulation, and technical and agricultural barriers. These barriers transfer $1.2 trillion of wealth abroad annually, and $18 trillion since the U.S. started running deficits. The president's strategy is to charge other countries what they charge the U.S. It's easy to calculate the tariff differential, but non-tariff barriers are much higher. The U.S. paused for ninety days, knowing countries would want to bargain, and anticipates potentially having 90 deals in 90 days. The speaker believes this pause was a success for President Trump, and they are going to get this done for the American people.

"Tariffs are vital to the success of this country." "They could possibly replace federal income tax." "From 1850 to 1913, in the 1887, it's about 1887, they had the Great National Tariff Act." "And then in 1929, you had the depression." "They ended them in 1913. How did that work out? And then we went to the income tax." "I settled seven different wars. One going thirty one years, one go look at the Congo and Rwanda." "Thirty one years, ten million people dead. I got it settled." "We have trillions of dollars coming into our country." "If we didn't have tariffs, we would be a very poor nation, and we would be taken advantage of by every other nation in the world."

The President has initiated a complete restructuring of the international trading system with a fair and reciprocal plan. For too long other countries have damaged our defense industrial base and threatened our national security. Take Europe, for example. The US runs a $230 billion trade deficit with them, especially in the auto industry. A Cadillac faces tariffs and VAT taxes that significantly increase its price in Germany, while a BMW coming to the US gets rebates, allowing it to be sold much cheaper. This disparity explains why Germany sells us eight times more cars than we sell them. To address this, we're going to identify how countries are unfairly exploiting us through tariffs and non-monetary barriers. Then we will determine reciprocal tariffs to counteract this unfairness, ensuring fair treatment for America. This isn't a political issue, it's an American issue. We want jobs, factories, and a strong defense industrial base here at home so we can be safe, secure, and prosperous.

Check out these insane tariffs that Canada imposed on the US last year: 250% for milk, 291% for butter, and over 200% for whey and cheese. Meanwhile, we charged them far less for the same goods. Since Trump announced tariffs, everyone suddenly became an economics expert. I don't know how tariffs will affect the economy, and neither does anyone else. But I do know tariffs led Apple to build a new factory and hire 20,000 Americans. Honda is building Civics here instead of Mexico. Taiwan Semiconductor is investing $100 billion to build five chip factories in the US. Tariffs pressure China, Mexico, and Canada to stop the flow of fentanyl. Tariffs are one tactic in an economic strategy. Are we willing to tolerate short-term disruption for long-term gain? Macroeconomics are complicated and take time to play out. Are you listening to people who want the President to fail, even if it hurts America?

The White House is pursuing both long-term tariff revenue and trade deals. The administration has 18 important trading relationships and will be speaking to those partners. President Trump believes tariff revenue could provide income tax relief, potentially in the upcoming tax bill. He campaigned on no tax on tips, Social Security, and overtime, while restoring interest deductibility for American-made autos. Tariff income could be used for tax relief on those items. The speaker believes tariffs will bring back American manufacturing and generate substantial revenues, suggesting a significant role for tariff revenue in US fiscal policy.

Joe Biden has run up record trade deficits, costing the country jobs and wealth. To address this, I will pass the Trump Reciprocal Trade Act, which will impose the same tariffs on countries that impose tariffs on American goods. If they don't drop the tariffs, we'll make money. Other countries will have two choices: eliminate tariffs on us or pay us billions of dollars. This will benefit farmers, manufacturers, and the middle class, and reduce our dependence on China. We have been disrespected on trade for too long, but with this act, that will change. The Trump Reciprocal Trade Act.

Today, I implemented strong steel and aluminum tariffs. This fulfills a campaign promise, protects our national security and American workers, boosts American manufacturing, and generates revenue to lower your taxes.

Technology companies have committed over $2.5 trillion to build in America due to tariffs, with sovereign wealth funds from the Middle East also investing, totaling over $3 trillion committed. The pharma industry, auto, and industrial sectors are also returning to America. The speaker mentioned the Trump Gold Card's popularity and a plan to replace the Internal Revenue Service with an external revenue service, funded by tariffs, so outside countries trading with the U.S. pay their fair share. Ending de minimis will rebuild mom and pop and small businesses in America by stopping foreign countries from sending small packages for free.

The White House is pursuing both long-term tariff revenue and trade deals. The administration has initiated a process involving 18 important trading relationships, engaging with these partners in the coming weeks. President Trump envisions tariff revenue potentially providing income tax relief, which could be included in the upcoming tax bill. Trump campaigned on eliminating taxes on tips, Social Security, and overtime, while restoring interest deductibility for American-made autos. Tariff income could be used for immediate tax relief in these areas. The administration believes tariffs can revive American manufacturing and generate significant revenues.

Of course big business and Wall Street hate Trump's tariffs; they've been decimating American manufacturing for decades. These tariffs are helping to reverse that trend. We've seen companies like Milwaukee Tool, which sounds American but is owned by the Chinese Communist Party, compete against American companies. That's why we need tariffs to protect companies that actually want to manufacture in the United States. Don't believe the lies you read; polls show Americans overwhelmingly support tariffs.

Technology companies have committed over $2.5 trillion to build in America due to tariffs, with sovereign wealth funds committing over $3 trillion. The pharma industry is returning home because America pays for global drug costs, and the auto and industrial sectors are also reshoring. The speaker mentioned efforts to train the workforce to rebuild America. There is significant attention on the "Trump Gold Card." The tariffs are generating hundreds of billions of dollars to build the "external revenue service," intended to replace the internal revenue service, with the goal of having foreign countries pay their fair share to America. Eliminating de minimis will help rebuild mom and pop and small businesses in America. De minimis was described as a big scam against the country and small businesses.

I have paid tariffs. Revenues will stay here, and wages will increase. Our country will become wealthy again. I find it insulting that you are testing my economic knowledge and questioning the president's decisions. I regret giving the Associated Press a question. Mary, you can go ahead.

The speaker claims that America was once rich due to tariffs, which taxed other countries for taking American jobs, similar to China's current policies. They state that in the 1880s, a commission was formed to decide what to do with the excess money generated from tariffs. The speaker asserts that America switched to an income tax system in the early 1900s because other countries pressured America to stop using tariffs, implying these countries controlled American politicians. They contrast this with China's policy of requiring companies to build factories there to sell cars, referencing Elon Musk as an example and praising him.

US Business Leaders are begging to meet with the president because he is a negotiator making good deals for the American worker. The president discussed the need for steel and aluminum tariffs in his speech in Pennsylvania. According to someone backstage at the speech, the tariffs are the greatest thing to happen for the Pittsburgh community in sixty years. The president is delivering on his promises to bolster the steel and aluminum industries and protect those jobs. If not for this president, that steel plant in Pittsburgh would have closed and the president saved that company, those jobs, and that community.

The president wants to impose tariffs on foreign importers to bring investment and jobs back to the U.S. Businesses can avoid tariffs by building and investing more in America and raising wages for American workers. The administration aims to lower inflation, ensure government services, and force businesses to invest in American workers. Inducing businesses to invest in American workers and reshoring supply chains will strengthen the economy long-term. The COVID crisis showed the U.S. can't rely on China for critical supplies. The president is changing a bipartisan consensus that has harmed American workers. Investing in the U.S. will be rewarded with lower taxes, regulations, and energy costs. The European Union has been tough on American workers by imposing tariffs. The president is defending the American worker and fighting back against unfairness. The U.S. has a $1 trillion trade deficit and will no longer allow Americans to go into debt to buy foreign-made goods.

The speaker states they are in dialogue with the prime minister and believes he is happy with how they treated them with tariffs. The speaker addresses foreign leaders, urging them to terminate their tariffs, drop barriers, and stop manipulating currencies, which they claim is devastating. They request these leaders buy tens of billions of dollars of American goods. The speaker asserts tariffs protect the country from economic harm and will lead to unprecedented growth, adding that this growth has already started.

The Treasury Secretary discusses President Trump's new tariff regime, calling it transformational for the American economy and the Republican alignment. He likens it to Reagan's era, emphasizing the focus on the forgotten American worker and re-industrialization. He claims the tariffs are a tool to negotiate and counter unfair trade practices, potentially generating substantial revenue to lower taxes and reduce the deficit. The Secretary argues that market declines are not solely due to the President's policies, citing China's AI advancements as a factor. He believes the tariffs will incentivize companies to bring manufacturing back to the US, boosting domestic revenue and reducing the trade deficit. He addresses concerns about the labor force, suggesting AI and automation will mitigate shortages. He acknowledges the challenges of forecasting economic impacts due to factors like illegal immigration and AI, but expresses confidence in the new direction. He defends the administration's approach to government spending, aiming for efficiency rather than simply issuing more debt. He highlights the importance of a strong relationship between President Trump and Chairman Xi for managing US-China relations. He also mentions a failed deal with Zelenskyy.

Under Joe Biden's policies, trade deficits have been increasing, leading to job losses and economic damage. Last year alone, we lost $383 billion to China and nearly $1 trillion worldwide, the largest trade deficit in our history. These losses allow China to gain more jobs, victories, and long-term prosperity while they use the money to buy our real estate, factories, and build up their military. This path of subservience and economic ruin is evident to everyone, and other countries are mocking us. However, under my leadership, we will end these job-killing deficits, regain our independence, and experience a great economic boom. My previous tariffs on China and other countries actually resulted in no inflation, significant job creation, wage growth, and the opening of over 17,000 new factories in the USA. With my strategic national manufacturing initiative, we will achieve even greater success. Thank you.

America protects and defends countries like South Korea, Japan, Canada, and all of Europe. In exchange, South Korea steals the automobile and electronics industries, Japan closes its market to American cars, Canada runs up a massive trade deficit, and Europe has a $300 billion trade deficit with the United States. America is getting ripped off by every other country in the world, resulting in the deindustrialization of the heartland, destruction of the American dream, and the eradication of the industrial and manufacturing base needed for national security. This has to stop, especially with $36 trillion in debt.
