TOP STORY:
President Trump marked his 100th day in office with a campaign-style rally in Michigan during which he highlighted his decisions on immigration, trade, and government spending.
The president’s rally took place in a Detroit suburb whose top employer is General Motors; Trump earlier in the day rolled back some of his tariffs, easing the tax on imported auto parts.
The updated decision comes as automakers adjust to Trump’s 25% tariffs on auto imports that were expected to increase the price of a new vehicle by thousands of dollars within a year.
In an exclusive interview with ABC News senior national correspondent Terry Moran, Trump spoke on the impact of the escalating trade war with China.
Trump told Moran, “They [China] deserve it.”
He added, “China probably will eat those tariffs. But at 145% they basically can't do much business with the United States. And they were making from us a trillion dollars a year. They were ripping us off like nobody's ever ripped us off. And by the way, we have other countries that were just as bad. If you look at the European Union, it was terrible what they've done to us. Every country, almost every country in the world was ripping us off.”
