Foreign business entities invited to educate American labor forces in manufacturing skills: "Let them come, we're happy to receive them" (Trump's words)
In a recent post on his Truth Social platform, President Donald Trump reiterated his belief that the United States must focus on revitalising certain manufacturing sectors, citing shipbuilding as a prime example.
The President's statement comes following the Supreme Court's swift decision on the legality of his tariffs. Trump asserted that the U.S. will learn from foreign nations and strive to excel in their manufacturing methods, aiming to drive over $15 trillion in new U.S. investment.
Trump encouraged foreign companies investing in the U.S. to temporarily bring in their experts to transfer knowledge to American workers. He argued that this move would not only attract foreign investment but also help train domestic workers in manufacturing complex products such as ships, computers, trains, and semiconductors.
In his post, Trump suggested that without tariffs, the U.S. could potentially become a "Third World Nation." He also proposed that as these companies phase out of the U.S., they should return to their home countries, taking their expertise with them.
However, Trump also welcomed foreign nations' employees to the U.S., encouraging them to share their skills during a "period of time." He specifically called on countries, such as South Korea, to halt investments in complex products in the USA, instead transferring their expertise to the American market. The goal, according to Trump, is to eventually outperform foreign expertise in these areas.
As of September 12, 2025, the U.S. national debt stands at $37,470,833,295,098.68, a figure that underscores the importance of economic growth and job creation in the manufacturing sector. Trump's proposals aim to address these concerns and position the U.S. as a global leader in manufacturing once again.
