Trump says US businesses are ‘ordered’ to find alternatives to China trade
(Worthy News) – President Trump on Friday directed all U.S. businesses to immediately find alternative sources for any goods they were importing from China. The comments came in response to China’s announcement earlier in the day that it was enacting additional tariffs on $75 billion worth of U.S. goods.
“Our great American companies are hereby ordered to immediately start looking for an alternative to China, including bringing your companies HOME and making your products in the USA,” Trump tweeted, adding, “I will be responding to China’s Tariffs this afternoon.”
It was not clear from the tweets what precisely Trump meant by “ordered” or how he intended to enforce this directive. Nor did he offer any details on what the planned response to China’s tariffs response would be. [ Source: Washington Examiner (Read More…) ]
