Former U.S. President Donald Trump has stated that Samsung should start making its products in the United States, just like Apple. If the company does not move its manufacturing to the U.S., he warned that a 25% import tax could be added to Samsung products brought into the country.
Trump explained that companies selling to American consumers should also support the U.S. economy by creating jobs and investing locally. He emphasized that businesses benefiting from the American market have a responsibility to give back by helping to grow the nation’s economy.
He also mentioned that U.S. Steel will begin operating fully within the country, which is expected to create around 70,000 new jobs and add approximately $14 billion to the U.S. economy. This move is part of Trump’s broader “America First” approach, which focuses on making the country more self-reliant in terms of manufacturing and industrial production.
Under this policy, foreign companies that want to do business in the U.S. are encouraged to invest in American factories and workers. Trump believes this is an important step to ensure long-term economic strength and job creation within the country.
