Economic Policy

Trump emphasized economic revitalization through deregulation, aiming to eliminate 10 old regulations for every new one, potentially saving American households thousands of dollars. He also proposed the largest tax cut in American history, reducing corporate tax rates to 15% for domestic manufacturers and offering incentives for companies to relocate production to the U.S. A tariff would be imposed on goods produced outside the US.

Tariffs on imported cars and agricultural products and unspecified non-monetary tariffs are intended to address trade imbalances with the EU, Canada and Mexico.

Trump stated his intention to ask Saudi Arabia and OPEC to reduce oil prices, aiming to influence the Russia-Ukraine war and subsequently lower interest rates.
