President Donald Trump on Wednesday promoted the idea of companies shifting operations to the United States as a solution to offsetting higher tariffs that his administration announced last week and which went into effect earlier in the day.

In a post on Truth Social, the president wrote that now “is a GREAT time to move your COMPANY into the United States of America, like Apple, and so many others, in record numbers, are doing.”
