🇺🇸 Trump: We are regaining control of our trade
“China, 67% – that is tariffs charged to the US, including currency manipulation and trade barriers.
Therefore, we will charge a 34% discount round-trip duty.

“So 67%… we're going to charge a 34% discount mutual tariff. In other words, I think they'll charge them less, so why can anyone get upset? They're not going to charge us now. They're 20%, so they're essentially charging in half.”
Trump said it was time to “make America rich again.”
Make America wealthy again! 💰
“This is one of the most important days. In American history, it is our declaration of economic independence. For years, hardworking American citizens have been forced to sit on the sidelines… but now it's time to flourish.” – @potus 🇺🇸 pic.twitter.com/mksakiotsp
