Q: worried consumers prices? TRUMP: ultimately price reduction many, many more jobs; Border down 95%
President Trump signed 25% steel and aluminum tariffs, explaining the consumer price framework and industrial revival vision while Stephen Miller provided border update. On consumer prices: “What do you say to consumers who are worried about prices, sir? Oh, I don’t think you’re going to know. You’re going to ultimately have a price reduction because they’re going to make their steel here. There’s not going to be any care of these foreign companies will move to the United States, will make their steel and aluminum in the United States. Ultimately, it’ll be cheaper, but we’ll also have jobs. Many, many more jobs.” Trump on industry revival: “So the failed American trade policies have led our once incredible United States steel and aluminum industries once incredible. I saved them because of my first term. Totally saved them. If I didn’t do what I did, I put massive tariffs, not the highest level, but pretty, pretty massive tariffs. We took in a lot of money and we took in a lot of jobs. We were being pummeled by both friend and foe alike.” Trump on tariff structure: “And today, I’m simplifying our tariffs and steel and aluminum so that everyone can understand exactly what it means. It’s 25% without exceptions or exemptions. And that’s all countries, no matter where it comes from. All countries have made it in the United States, however, United States of America. There is no tariff, zero. So if it’s made in the United States, there is no tariff. All you have to do is make it in the United States.” On Canada 51st state: “Canada, we make it in the United States. We don’t need it to be made in Canada. We’ll have the jobs. That’s why Canada should be our 51st day.” Stephen Miller on border: “Since you issued your day one executive orders, border crossings are down approximately 95%. You talk to agents on the line. In their entire careers, they’ve never seen crossing days as low as what they’re experiencing right now. The cartels, in fact, are enormously frustrated because they’ve never seen a clamping like this before in American history.”
