U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville is issuing a warning for global producers and manufacturers to do business in the United States instead of foreign countries like Mexico and China.
On Thursday, Tuberville (R-Auburn) joined Fox News’ The Will Cain Show and explained that tariffs are a definite option for ensuring that companies adhere to the Trump Administration’s call for increased manufacturing and production in America.
President Trump is already delivering on his campaign promises to bring a Golden Age in America, and @PeteHegseth is the man we need leading the Pentagon.

“You know in the inauguration speech he called out the Bidens, the Clintons, the Obamas right to their faces and he did the same thing to the people at Davos [Switzerland],” said Tuberville. “All these woke climate change hoax people live for themselves. They don’t live for the world. They don’t live for anything other than making themselves richer. President Trump basically said get on the ship or get off folks, because we are changing the order in which we’re doing business.”
“If you want to do business with America, you better move here and make it because if you don’t make it in America, we’re going to tax the hell out of you.”

Trump spoke this week about the possibility of tariffs on corporations at the World Economic Forum via video conference.
“My message to every business in the world is very simple: come make your product in America and we will give you among the lowest taxes of any nation on earth,” Trump told business leaders at the event. “But if you don’t make your product in America, which is your prerogative, then very simply, you will have to pay a tariff. Differing amounts, but a tariff which will direct hundreds of billions of dollars and even trillions of dollars into our Treasury to strengthen our economy and pay down debt.”
According to Reuters, Trump has proposed a 15% corporate tax rate for companies that manufacture in the U.S.
