Trump: We Have Thousands of Plants and Factories Being Built in the U.S., If I Took Tariffs Off, They’d Immediately Stop Construction

EXCERPT:

TRUMP: “We have thousands of plants and factories being built in the United States. And somebody said, oh, but tariffs — let me tell you, if I took tariffs off right now, every one of those plants would immediately stop construction, because they’re only building them maybe for two reasons or three reasons, but the 99 percent is if they don’t build them in order to sell their product into the United States, they’d have to pay a 50, 100, 150, 250, even 300 percent tariff. And once they start building and once they open up, they pay no tariff. So, it’s you know, amazing."
