So he is trying to move ahead with this broad vision of reorienting trade that we know here in the United States. And he's had this belief system for the past at least 40 years.

I'm not sure if it's achieving the aims. I think—well, think about this for a minute. You know, this is another way to look at it. There are companies that have said, we're gonna come build a plant in the United States. We're going to invest more money into the United States. What they haven't said is we're gonna close up shop and move a bulk of our production to the United States.

It's like he's saying, I want more things to be made in the United States, but it also seems like whatever has happened so far with these companies isn't enough.

Well, I don't think it gives corporate America really much of a leg to stand on. What are they supposed to do? I mean, what is the answer to this?

Look at what the White House has been touting.
