Latest Trump Tarriff Win Adds Jobs And Boosts Key National Security Metric
Trump throws Biden policy of sacrificing security for partisan and personal gain on its head
Unlike the Biden era when the only people really getting jobs were the illegals swarming over the border, Trump’s policies have been reversing decades of brain drain and bringing industry back to America.
This multi-billion dollar investment stacks nicely on the several trillion dollars of new business that has been announced since Trump won re-election. As big as the new Hyundai plant is, it’s only PART of the win Trump scored here:

Baked into that deal is a reinvestment in the US steel industry AND the liquid natural gas industry. Building up home-grown sources of oil and steel — not to mention manufacturing itself — is of critical importance in national security concerns.
Joe ought to know, he raided the Strategic Oil Reserves so that he could tell the world he was ‘doing something’ aboout the high price of oil and gas… only to discover he couldn’t afford to refill it after the elections.
BREAKING: The CEO of Hyundai just officially announced a $21 BILLION manufacturing investment in the United States, making it their largest in America in history.
It will include a massive steel plant in Louisiana that will create 1,300 jobs.

“With this, our US vehicle production will exceed 1,000,000 units per year. As the President mentioned, our decision to invest in Savannah, Georgia, creating more than 8500 American jobs, was initiated during my meeting with President Trump in Seoul in 2019.”
“Furthermore, HMG will purchase $3 billion worth of US LNG to support America’s energy industry and enhance our energy security. All of these efforts will accelerate the localization of our supply chain in the US, expand our operations, and grow our American workforce.”
So, while Joe Biden was erasing our borders, kneecapping our industries, draining our strategic reserves, strangling American jobs with oppressive red tape and selling out to America’s enemies right and left… Trump is making good on a deal that was already hammered out (in principal) back in 2019, before the pandemic.
If this deal was roughly fleshed out back in 2019, why do you supposed they didn’t pull the trigger in the Biden year? We know the answer to that already, don’t we?
If the goal of tariffs — whether reciprocal or punitive — was to end any unfair labor advantage elsewhere and tilt the playing field in favor of American jobs and manufacturing?
It appears to be working.
Bigly.
