    I had a great call with The President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen. We discussed many topics, including that we are completely united that Iran can never have a Nuclear Weapon. We agreed that a regime that kills its own people cannot control a bomb that can kill millions. I’ve been waiting patiently for the EU to fulfill their side of the Historic Trade Deal we agreed in Turnberry, Scotland, the largest Trade Deal, ever! A promise was made that the EU would deliver their side of the Deal and, as per Agreement, cut their Tariffs to ZERO! I agreed to give her until our Country’s 250th Birthday or, unfortunately, their Tariffs would immediately jump to much higher levels. Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J.

    Trump claims he saved the US automobile business through tariffs

    Trump claims Ford and General Motors plants run profitably because of tariffs, criticizes Canada for ripping off the US for decades, and rejects Canadian cars and parts under current trade practices.

    Source excerpt

    When I announced that I was running in the 2024 Presidential Election, right at the beginning, Ford was getting ready to close their Big Factory, in Detroit. 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. I don’t want Canadian cars, I don’t want Canadian parts, I don’t want Canadian anything. They’ve been ripping us off for decades, and it’s going to stop. This should have happened long ago with other Presidents, just as stopping Iran should have happened long ago. They want to be treated like a State, but they...

    Trump argues that lower interest rates are needed due to US trade deficits

    Trump highlights that employers added 162000 jobs in August, urges the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates, and warns he will stop trading with countries having trade deficits.

    Source excerpt

    Great jobs number just announced, breaking all estimates (except mine!) by double and triple - And you haven’t seen anything yet! EMPLOYERS ADDED 162,000 JOB IN AUGUST. Lower the interest rates because the U.S.A. is a much stronger credit than it was just a short time ago! A STRONG COUNTRY MEANS A LOWER INTEREST RATE - IT’S A BETTER CREDIT…Very simple! We should have the LOWEST RATE of any country in the World, like “the old days.” Without the United States agreeing to allow them their big surpluses, and we could stop that immediately, they would no longer be considered financially ELITE! LOWER THE RATE OR I’LL STOP TRADING WITH COUNTRIES WITH WHICH WE HAVE A DEFICIT, which the U.S. Supreme Court, in its ridiculous and very costly Tariff decision, strongly acknowledged “the President” has an absolute right to do. IT’S BETTER THAN TARIFFS! The Fed Board, with its great new leader, must...

    Trump reports that job growth nearly tripled Bloomberg survey predictions and states that fair trade tariffs are bringing manufacturing jobs back.

    Source excerpt

    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.
