President Trump has proven once again why he’s the most effective advocate for American workers in modern American politics. He fully understands the threat China poses, and his administration is doing exactly what needs to be done to ensure American competitiveness.
While strengthening our manufacturing, he’s also tackling trade diplomacy with China. Because President Trump knows we need both: to grow our ability to compete with China by manufacturing right here in the U.S. and also to pursue trade diplomacy that actually helps American businesses and consumers.
The early signals of this effort are positive.
For example, Ford’s $5-billion investment in car manufacturing, announced this week, which includes a new plant that will create nearly 1,700 new U.S. jobs, was made possible by President Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill. The plant will have American workers create American-made batteries using globally licensed technology, at cost and at scale, to compete with and reduce reliance on foreign-made alternatives.
Trump and Congress protected American businesses’ ability to license such technology in the Big Beautiful Bill because he knew that it would create U.S. jobs and further our economic interests. He was right.
In doing so, they stole a page out of China’s playbook. American companies can now take existing world-class technologies, build them right here at home, and leverage American innovation and industrial prowess to make them even better.
Other companies are announcing battery manufacturing investments here in America, too. We’ve also seen massive investments from Apple, NVIDIA, and John Deere. Everyone from tech companies to automakers knows that it’s time to bet on America.
On the trade front, Trump already reached a breakthrough with Beijing, paving the way for eliminating retaliatory tariffs with structured talks to expand market access for American exports.
This is how Trump wins — not by walking away from...

Winning so much makes this old man dizzy...
Might make you dizzy but drives the Democrats into a tizzy!
The corollary of this is that other countries are witnessing the effects.
Much of the influence & inroads chyna made under xiden is suddenly at risk. DJT’s security better be on their game to threats both within & otherwise.
I fail to understand why, Democrats have such a “Hard on” for bad batteries!
In my state Hawaii,EVs are un-economical because of single party state local politics influencing the price of electricity to be > $0.55 per kWh! Only rich Democrats drive EVs in Hawaii.
Forcing the rest of America to use unstable batteries
in EVs is as stupid as can be.
Even in Hawaii my homeowners insurance demands that any Lithium battery powered vehicle must be parked well away from my home and away from other vehicles.
Spend your money on developing a better battery! not on BS Democrat “Green” power!
This article will look better after all those investments start to turn into jobs. Manufacturing employment has taken a hit over the last several months.

what are those projected investments in total for manufacturing?
And Michael Caine said, if you have an issue, here’s a tissue. 👍
Perhaps we could boycott purchases that say “made in China”?
Panasonic battery plant, Kansas
Not good enough. CCP needs to be on its butt.
“...For example, Ford’s $5-billion investment in car manufacturing,..” It is a EV plant, and Ford’s EV sales are way down...Ford, a future “public-private partnership” like Intel or “Government Motors”?

It is time for the American people to turn off their social media and go back to WORK. Spying on the American people as a job description is insane.
President Trump has proven once again why he’s the most effective advocate for American workers in modern American politics.
It’s why the democrats hate him so much you can’t sell communism when things are going well.
Gloom doom and misery are the democrats favorite tools.
