The former Republican president, who placed his mandate under the sign of “America first”, pledged to “bring businesses back” to the world’s leading economic power.
To do this, the billionaire promised to reduce taxes “even further” for companies manufacturing their products in the United States.
Conversely, the others will pay “high” customs duties, he said.
Customs duties, tax cuts, energy: what economic program for Donald Trump?
“The higher the customs duties, the more likely the company is to establish itself in the United States,” explained the candidate, considering himself “very good at mathematics.”
He brushed aside the risk of rising prices for American consumers. “Another theory is that the tariffs are so high, so terrible, so obnoxious, that (manufacturers) will come right away,” the Republican said.
According to Donald Trump, the United States is being “conned” economically, particularly by some of its closest allies, such as the European Union and Japan.
During this interview, hosted by the editor-in-chief of Bloomberg, the Republican candidate also engaged in several imitations of leaders, including one of Emmanuel Macron.
Adopting a fake French accent, he recounted a conversation he claimed to have had with the French president on a matter of customs taxes — a sketch he often reproduces at his campaign rallies.
