I do not believe they meant to do so, but their decision on Tariffs cost the United States 159 Billion Dollars that we have to pay back to enemies, and people, companies, and Countries, that have been ripping us off for years. It’s hardly believable! They could have solved that situation with a “tiny” sentence, “Any money paid by others to the United States does not have to be paid back.” Why wouldn’t they have done so?

The Technology the World relies on was invented in America. We all remember “Intel Inside.” Stupid Presidents took our Economy for granted, and let Taiwan and others steal our Semiconductor Factories. They forgot to protect our Industries with TARIFFS. When I won my Second Term (Third, actually!), it was clear America needed its Semiconductor Industry to come back to the U.S.A. We design everything, but we need to BUILD it here, NOW! So I decided to help Intel because we need to design and build our Chips right here in America. First, we helped bring in Nvidia, and they agreed to build their first level Chips with Intel. Next, Elon agreed to build his TerraFab, the largest Chip Factory in the World, designed together with Intel’s Technology team. And, finally, Apple has agreed to work with Intel to design and build its Chips in America. We decided to help Intel in exchange for 10% of...

BIG WIN today at the U.S. Court of International Trade on one of the most DESPICABLE loopholes in American Trade Policy — The so-called “de minimis” exemption. For years, Foreign Shippers could send packages worth up to $800 into our Country, DUTY FREE, NO TARIFF, far less scrutiny. It became a giant loophole for TARIFF Cheats — and a Pipeline exploited by Fentanyl Traffickers, Counterfeiters, and other Criminals shipping dangerous and illegal products into America. The numbers were staggering. In 2024 alone, de minimis cost America an estimated 10.8 BILLION DOLLRS in foregone TARIFF Revenue, and an astonishing share of narcotics and counterfeit seizures came through the de minimis channel.

America has been carrying Canada for decades, but no longer! The U.S.A. will always be far bigger, richer, and stronger than Canada. Without the United States, Canada couldn’t survive — It’s where they get all of their money and, because of their current bad leadership, primarily Governor Carney, and his Flunky, Ford, they will not be allowed to keep taking advantage of the United States — Their key to survival. Remember, much of the Electricity, Oil, and Gas that Canada gets is transported through the U.S.A. Someone should get these clowns to “fall in line” or, the consequences for Canada will be far WORSE!

Then, because I was leading in the Polls, they figured they would leave it open a little longer to see what happened. Now it’s running 24/7, and it’s one of the most profitable Car Plants in the World! There are many other examples, for both Ford, General Motors, and others. I’ve revived, and indeed saved, the Automobile Business in our America. That’s because of what I’ve done with TARIFFS. One of the Worst Abusers is Canada.

Trump reports that job growth nearly tripled Bloomberg survey predictions and states that fair trade tariffs are bringing manufacturing jobs back.
GREAT NEWS! Our THRIVING Economy added 162 THOUSAND Jobs in August, in honor of our Great American Workers who we celebrate this (and every!) Labor Day. This strong number is nearly TRIPLE the predictions of the Bloomberg survey's so-called "Economists," who continue to suffer from Trump Derangement Syndrome. The effects of the Trump Boom can be seen across many Industries. My Administration's Fair Trade Policies, using a wonderful tool called "TARIFFS," have reset the Global Economy, bringing Manufacturing Jobs BACK to America, like never before. Factory Construction is BOOMING as Companies take advantage of FULL EXPENSING — One year deduction. Before long, these Factories will be teeming with red, white, and blue-blooded AMERICAN Workers! President DONALD J. TRUMP
On August job growth and American workers for Labor Day.

現地時間22日13時過ぎから、国連総会出席のため訪問中の米国・ニューヨークにて、トランプ大統領(@realDonaldTrump)と日米首脳会談を行いました。 トランプ大統領にお会いするのは、本年6月のG7エビアンサミット以来4回目でしたが、今回も非常に打ち解けた雰囲気の中で、幅広い分野での協力や地域情勢についてしっかりと議論することができました。 日米両国が共に高い関心をもって取り組んでいる経済安全保障については、AIや半導体、重要鉱物といった分野で、技術競争に勝ち、強靱性を高めるための協力を確認し、これを更に強化していくこととしました。 また、関税に係る日米間の合意についても、着実な実施の重要性を改めて確認し、双方で協力を進めていくことで一致しました。 中国・北朝鮮などについてもトランプ大統領との間で率直な意見交換を行いました。 特に、私自身が決意をもって取り組んでいる拉致問題については、その即時解決の重要性を改めて強調し、トランプ大統領から、全面的な支持を得ることができました。 昨今の安全保障環境が厳しさを増している中、まさにこのタイミングで、トランプ大統領との間で、安全保障、経済、経済安全保障など、幅広い分野における日米協力やインド太平洋地域情勢などについてしっかりと議論を行ったことは極めて有意義だったと思います。 このほか、国際刑事裁判所(ICC)に関する考えについても、率直なやり取りを行いました。 トランプ大統領との緊密なやり取りを通じて、日米同盟の更なる高みを目指していきます。
