In a recent rally in North Carolina, former President Donald Trump emphasized his commitment to revitalizing American manufacturing, particularly in the furniture industry, which he claims has suffered significant job losses due to unfavorable trade policies. Trump criticized current Vice President Kamala Harris and previous administrations for allowing jobs to be outsourced, citing the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and China's entry into the World Trade Organization as pivotal moments that harmed American workers.

Trump asserted that under his leadership, the U.S. would reclaim lost manufacturing jobs, specifically mentioning the loss of over 300,000 jobs in North Carolina alone. He promised to implement policies that would lower taxes and energy costs for American companies, while imposing stiff tariffs on products made overseas. \"If they make their products in another country and they bring them here, then they will pay a very stiff tariff,\" he stated, reinforcing his \"America First\" stance.

The former president also highlighted the importance of energy independence, claiming that the U.S. has more energy resources than any other country, and criticized the current administration for relying on foreign oil. He expressed confidence that American manufacturing would rebound, stating, \"We're gonna bring them back. They are dreams actually. They're gonna be dreams no longer.\"

Trump's remarks come as he rallies support ahead of the upcoming elections, urging attendees to visit his campaign website for more information. His focus on manufacturing and trade reflects a broader strategy to appeal to voters concerned about job security and economic stability in the face of global competition.
