Trump: Eating Tariffs Eventually Helps Us Businesses
REPORTER: “When you said Walmart should eat the cost of tariffs, isn’t that an acknowledgment it is companies that bear the brunt of tariffs?”
TRUMP: “Sometimes the country will eat it. Sometimes Walmart will eat it. And sometimes there’ll be something to pay something extra. Because they’ll do a lot of business, but, you know, they announce record profits and everything else. They have to take out some of their profits. They’ll make a little bit less money, but I don’t want the consumer to pay.”
REPORTER: “Why impose tariffs when they hurt American businesses?”
TRUMP: “They’re not hurting. They’re helping because they’re creating jobs in America, and we’re creating tremendous amounts of jobs in America like you’ve never seen. We’re having investment in America. We’re not getting ripped off by every country in the world. We’ve been ripped off by every country in the world. They’re making their product. They sell it. They don’t give our people the jobs. They make it with other countries’ jobs, and we will have something that nobody will ever see again, I think. I think we have a potential to do numbers that we never envisioned in the wildest years.”
