Trump says Tariffs Will Make Us Richer and Create More Jobs

Trump stated that the U.S. is set to gain hundreds of billions of dollars from tariffs soon. He believes the move will encourage companies and factories to return to the U.S., creating more jobs.
Speaking with FOX Business’ Maria Bartiromo on Air Force One on Sunday evening, Trump responded to concerns about a possible recession. He admitted there’s always hesitation but remained confident about the benefits of the tariffs.

Trump has recently placed tariffs on key trade partners, including Canada, Mexico, and China, as part of his economic strategy.
