Chapter 1042
It’s the second day of Made in America Week.
Trump has a new move.
The White House stated on the 18th local time that Trump is looking for ways to certify legal American goods to defend American-made products and actively crack down on imported products that are unfairly labeled”Made in the United States.”
According to Reuters, a senior U.S. government administration official said in an interview that Trump will discuss with small and medium-sized manufacturers on Wednesday how to certify products and how to prevent foreign counterfeit and shoddy products.
These products include sink filters, flags, tableware, pillows and more.
“There are too many examples of foreigners labeling their products as ‘Made in America’. The worst offense is that they actually stole the design of the product before that. The official noted that the United States loses $300 billion annually to the theft of intellectual property, from jeans to semiconductors.
The White House plans to work with the private sector to build new certification and verification systems rather than create new regulations or cost taxpayers The official cited the example of how Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED: a green building scoring certification system established by the American Green Building Council in 2000) could be used to assess the environmental sustainability of building projects.
The report also pointed out that Trump said on Monday that his administration would crack down on”predatory online sales of foreign goods that hurt American retailers.””
But the American media 410 does not seem to buy Trump’s account. They called”Made in America Week” a hypocritical joke.
Trump himself was accused of double standards. While promoting American-made products, Trump However, its own brands are using cheap products made in China.
The Washington Post commented that if the United States produces the best craftsmanship products, why doesn’t Mr. President’s own company make products in the United States?
The Trump family’s companies rely on China. Foreign factories such as Bangladesh, Indonesia, and Vietnam produce shoes, handbags, shirts, dresses, and jeans.
Similarly, many of Trump’s own clothes and home accessories are also produced in China and Bangladesh. and Mexico.
Even Trump’s luxurious hotels are filled with foreign products, including bathrobes, slippers, towels, phones, coffee machines and lamps, the Washington Post said when he accused American companies of relocating manufacturing.
When he’s abroad, he criticizes himself, and when he’s asked why he makes products overseas, Trump’s answer is”that’s what everyone else does,” according to the president of the United Steelworkers of America, the Washington Post.
Leo Gerrard expresses anger, calls Trump a liar
“He never did anything for anyone but himself. The steel bars in his building are all made from Huaxia products, and he has never purchased large quantities from us.”
AFL-CIO (American Federation of Labor-Confederation of Industrial Unions), the largest labor organization in the United States, issued a report that also condemned Trump.
“His decisions were made for the greater good of him and his family at the expense of American producers and their employees.”
At the White House’s”Made in America Week” product display, a media reporter asked whether Trump’s family businesses, including the clothing company owned by his daughter Ivanka, mainly rely on foreign companies for production, would Leading by example, the family company’s products will be moved back to the United States for production.
White House spokesman Spicer quickly said,”We will not respond to the situation of specific companies.”
CBS commented:”For many years, Republicans and Democrats have been committed to revitalizing American industry. But the truth is that manufacturing never really left America, only the jobs. In terms of output, manufacturing is by far the largest contributor to the U.S. economy”
“On the third day of”American Manufacturing Week”,
Martin flew to Washington to prepare to lobby Trump and his staff.
He hopes that the United States will also transfer manufacturing to Guinea, where there are cheaper workers than in China.
“Our working class is divided into two categories. One is the lower-level workers – mainly responsible for mindless tasks such as coolies and simple assembly – most of whom are local black people and their salaries are almost negligible. ; The other category is skilled workers – mainly responsible for some types of work that require skilled operations – most of them are white and yellow, but given the low cost of living in Guinea, their wages are also very low”
“I think moving American manufacturing to Guinea is a good way to reduce costs.”
“However, I just said that I would keep manufacturing in the United States. Doing so will make people think that I say one thing and do another.”Trump had some doubts.
Martin smiled and said:”To be honest, the current manufacturing industry in the United States cannot compete with China, Japan, and Kimchi Country in terms of quality and cost, especially China – China’s manufacturing has almost occupied the market. Eighty percent of the American small commodity market”
“I know that the United States, as a country of immigrants, needs a strong external enemy to maintain cohesion, and now that we are in the honeymoon period with Russia, we can only establish China as the new enemy of the United States.”
“However, Donald, your family business has many interests involved with China, which creates an embarrassing situation. While you are criticizing China, you are using Chinese products and doing business with China. Such behavior will make your Words lose their persuasiveness”
“So, Donald, why don’t you transfer your business to Guinea? At least in terms of manufacturing, Guinea is not much worse than China, and labor is cheaper.”
Martin’s words made Donald a little moved.
But the problem is still the same.
“It’s made in Guinea and not made in the United States. I still can’t convince the people. Martin smiled and said:”
Can we turn Made in Guinea into Made in the United States? There are now more than 200,000 American workers in Guinea, and we will continue to let Americans come to Guinea with work visas and even immigration, and open factories in Guinea. Isn’t it equivalent to creating more job opportunities for Americans? How is this different from Made in America?”
“Oh, there is still a difference. We are cheaper and can allow capitalists to obtain more benefits.
Trump muttered:”Yes, there are more than 200,000 American workers in Guinea, but there are also an equal number of Chinese workers, no, even more.
” I heard that Chinese people can travel to Guinea completely visa-free, and they are treated the same as Americans.
Martin smiled:”That’s true, but the people don’t need to know this.
They just need to know that we have provided more jobs for American workers.
” Don’t worry, I will take care of the mainstream media, and you don’t have to worry about the Internet.
As long as public opinion is one-sided, people will easily be brainwashed.
As for the few sober people, they can’t change anything.
”
Trump was greatly shaken.
He opened his mouth, and finally said:”I need to discuss it with my people and I will give you an answer in three days.”
“Can.”
Martin stood up with a smile and withdrew his magic power.
He believed that Trump and his team would agree.
