WASHINGTON — Vice President JD Vance told Breitbart News exclusively on Wednesday evening that for the “first time in probably 40 years,” the United States has a president in President Donald Trump who is reversing the trend of the U.S. serving as a “piggy bank” for the rest of the world.
“So for 40 years, America has been the piggy bank of the world,” Vance said when asked about the importance of the president’s announcement on Wednesday. “We absorb all of the ridiculous trade practices and economic practices of friend and foe alike.
For the first time in probably 40 years, we have an American president who’s saying, ‘No more,’ that it’s not going to work, that he’s not going to allow America to be taken advantage of anymore.
This decision is going to cause incredible benefits for American workers.
You’ve already seen a number of American manufacturers and a number of foreign manufacturers who are saying they’re going to build or expand plants in America.
That means more workers with good middle-class jobs.
That means more self-sufficiency in the United States of America.
Again, it can’t happen unless you have a president who fights back against these ridiculous trade practices.
Finally, we have a president who’s doing exactly that.”
