Speaking to supporters, Trump said that the United States had allegedly suffered losses for many years because of trade barriers imposed by a number of countries, including China, Japan, South Korea, Germany, Canada, and Mexico.
Because we are being ripped off through tariffs that have been used against us for years – China, Japan, South Korea, Germany, everyone, Canada. Canada is disgusting. That's what they are. They are disgusting. People think about Canada, and they are disgusting. I love Canadians, but their leadership is disgusting. Disgusting leadership. And Mexico – they have all treated us that way
Spoke about Iran, oil, and healthcare reform
In addition to trade policy, the U.S. president touched on negotiations with Iran, saying that Washington continues its dialogue with Tehran and "will see what happens." He also suggested that the United States might have to "raise" oil prices again, although he did not clarify exactly what he meant.
At the end of the speech, Trump again announced his "Great Healthcare Plan," which envisages, in particular, transferring funds to Americans' special savings accounts to pay for health insurance and other expenses.
The president also said that he would like to fire the U.S. Supreme Court justices who were appointed by Democrats, while noting that liberal justices "never deviate from course," unlike some conservative justices.
