Lutnick: The Magnet of the World Is the U.S. Consumer and Trump Understands How to Harness That

TRANSCRIPT:

LUTNICK: "The magnet of the world is the U.S. consumer, right? You know — remember the saying, the customer’s always right? U.S. customer is the greatest buyer in the world, and Donald Trump understands how to harness that customer and show that customer and everybody and say, 'If you want to play in our sandbox, you've been treating us badly for years, come on and play.' And then the idea now is to get these countries who open their market, number one, open their markets so now we can export for the first time and that’s going to grow our GDP 1%; build factories here, that’s going to grow our GDP 1%; and then these people invest. We now have $900 billion committed to build the pipelines in Alaska, to build nuclear, build power, and drill, baby, drill. This becomes the model. We’re going to build ships in America. We're going to build semiconductors in America. We are going to finally take care of the core of America, and it’s led by Donald Trump’s trade policy."
