President Trump announced this afternoon the start of his “MASSIVE Trade Deal with Japan”, which he says will see over half a trillion dollars in investments, and that’s just the beginning.
Here’s what he says:
Our MASSIVE Trade Deal with Japan has just launched!
Japan is now officially, and financially, moving forward with the FIRST set of Investments under its $550 BILLION Dollar Commitment to invest in the United States of America — part of our Historic Trade Deal to REVITALIZE the American Industrial Base, create HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of GREAT American Jobs, and strengthen our National and Economic Security like never before.
Today, I am pleased to announce three TREMENDOUS Projects in the Strategic Areas of Oil & Gas in the Great State of Texas, Power Generation in the Great State of Ohio, and Critical Minerals in the Great State of Georgia.
The scale of these projects are so large, and could not be done without one very special word, TARIFFS. The Gas Power Plant in Ohio (A State I won THREE TIMES!) will be the largest in History, the LNG Facility in the Gulf of America will drive Exports, and further our Country’s Energy DOMINANCE, and our Critical Minerals Facility will end our FOOLISH dependance on Foreign Sources.
America is building again. America is producing again. And America is WINNING again.
This is a very exciting and HISTORIC time for the United States of America and Japan. Congratulations to all!
Thank you for your attention to this matter!
PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP
I absolutely love that Trump is trying to invigorate our prices and economy with all of these investments. We are already beginning to see the lower prices he’s been touting on gas and diesel, and that will eventually (and hopefully) start showing up big time in the grocery store. I’ve always believed that transportation costs are a major factor in the price of retail goods.
