Companies that agree to build new US plants will face 20% tariffs during construction, which must be completed before #Trump leaves office [impossible]. The admin expects “the lion’s share” of patented drugs consumed by Americans to be produced in the #US.

We need some Africans on the job. Americans have no conception of the Art of the Deal, especially from this Clown - but I can assure anyone who may ask, if you want a good deal on Anything: ask an African, especially a Nigerian .

@Nonilex Terrible idea.
This is headed to court.
Someone should tally the cost in dollars to US taxpayers for unnecessary litigation caused by the trump regime.
