Welcome to Crossroads and thank you for tuning in.

President-elect Donald Trump is alleging that other countries have been exploiting the United States.

This is through things like trade deficits, defense spending, and the lack of defense spending in many countries,

that Trump says is not in America's favor.

Now, alongside this, Trump also plans to restore American manufacturing, bring all the businesses home, right?

And also implement tariffs, and what he says is to drill baby drill, back in the oil market and that's going to be

problematic because while Canada and Mexico we buy most of their oil we may not need all that

oil soon and Trump's plans are also causing controversy among a lot of foreign leaders as you

might imagine some economists are also very unhappy about these plans. I'll be talking about

these stories and more today, so let's dive into it. First of all, folks, President-elect Donald

J. Trump, he is alleging that other countries have been exploiting the United States to a very large

extent, just about everyone. And that this exploitation, well, it's about United States to a very large extent, just about everyone.

And that this exploitation, well, it's about to come to an end.

It's no longer going to be happening.

And countries that have, again, you know, have deficits where they profit off America,

they may soon lose all that profit.

Trump has been raising concerns over trade deficits with Mexico and Canada.

He's pointed to European nations how they refuse the sale of U.S. goods.

We can't sell their goods there while American taxpayers are covering a large portion of the defense of those countries

and they're not even meeting the bare minimum standards they agreed to.

Trump's also floating the use of tariffs and also pressure to even the global playing field,

while also revamping American production to bring wealth back to the United States and manufacturing back to the United States.
