Dialog
Donald Trump
This is a great day for America—believe me. We're taking back our jobs, taking back our trade. The TPP was a disaster, a total disaster.
Press Secretary
The President’s action today reaffirms his commitment to prioritizing American workers and industries. We’ll be issuing a full statement shortly.
Senior Advisor
Practically speaking, this sends a clear message—not just to our allies, but to the markets. A recalibration was overdue.
Donald Trump
Nobody negotiated trade like us—nobody. We’re winning again, big league.
Press Secretary
The press briefing will begin in five minutes. We’ll address any questions on the implications of this decision at that time.
Senior Advisor
The optics are strong—but the follow-through will matter more. We’ll need to manage the narrative carefully.
Donald Trump
They said we couldn’t do it—but here we are. Tremendous. Absolutely tremendous.
