Trump is now suggesting that he successfully "order"ed foreign companies to build plants in the US: "Japan and other countries are -- at my absolute request, order, call it whatever you want -- they're sending tremendous and building tremendous plants now in the United States."
Trump said that "nobody" in the history of the United States has "stood up for the worker" like he has, repeated his false claim that his tariffs are being paid by China, repeated his false claim about having a $500B trade deficit with China, and called Joe Biden "sleepy."
Trump promised "75,000 new auto jobs" from the USMCA. The US International Trade Commission's independent analysis forecast a gain of 30,000 auto parts jobs and a loss of 1,500 in vehicle production. The White House says it has its own numbers and it'll be +75,000.
Trump says again that the USMCA is "loved" by unions. There are lots of different unions, but that's generally untrue. The AFL-CIO, for example, still says it needs to be fixed.
