Standing in front \u2063of two\u200b John Deere tractors, Trump expressed his love for the \u2063company but <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/new-mexico-congressional-election-poses-early-test-for-democrats\/\" title=\"New Mexico Congressional Election Poses Early Test for Democrats\">highlighted concerns<\/a> about their \u200cshift away from American manufacturing. He threatened to \u2062impose a 200% \u200btariff on John Deere products exported from Mexico, stating that if they continued \u200dwith their plans, it would hurt American farmers and manufacturing jobs.<\/p>\n<p>Trump asserted \u2064that if elected again,\u2064 he would prioritize \u2062American manufacturing \u2062and warned that\u2063 John\u2064 Deere&#8217;s\u2064 decision could lead to a \u2064chain reaction of\u2062 U.S.\u200c plant closures. He encouraged the\u200c company to\u2064 invest in U.S.-based \u200cproduction \u2062facilities, specifically in states like\u2063 Michigan\u200b and South Carolina, where similar industries already exist. Trump&#8217;s comments reflect \u2063a broader concern \u200bover the impact of foreign labor on \u2063American jobs \u2063and the importance of maintaining manufacturing within the United States.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> <script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>With two John Deere tractors as a backdrop, former President Donald Trump called out the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/arizona-suffering-water-supply-issues-over-foreign-owned-farms-hogging-supply\/\" title=\"Arizona Suffering Water Supply Issues Over Foreign-Owned Farms Hogging Supply\">agricultural giant<\/a> in front of a crowd of farmers and promised a crushing response if the company continues to abandon America.<\/p>\n<p>Trump made the comments during a Monday roundtable hosted in Smithton, Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n<p>The policy discussion, hosted by the Protecting America Initiative, took a turn against Deere when Trump noted the two tractors behind him.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I just noticed behind me John Deere tractors,&rdquo; Trump said. &ldquo;I know a lot about John Deere. I love the company.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Trump was critical of the company&rsquo;s shift toward manufacturing in Mexico, however. As recently as June of this year, John Deere executives were reportedly planning to move production south of the border after making a handsome <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/john-deere-sells-america-nukes-jobs-making-10-billion-profit\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">$10 billion profit off American farmers<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>  <script> \t\t\t\tif( ! getCookie( 'ff_subbed' ) ) if( typeof FFADS.replace_ict !='undefined' ) if( FFADS.replace_ict ) eval( FFADS.replace_ict ); \t\t\t<\/script> <\/p>\n<p>Trump noted the announcement and warned John Deere that the move would come at a painful price.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I&rsquo;m just notifying John Deere right now,&rdquo; Trump said, &ldquo;if you do that, we&rsquo;re putting a 200 percent tariff on everything that you want to sell into the United States, so that if I win, John Deere is going to be paying 200 percent.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;They haven&rsquo;t started it yet. Maybe they haven&rsquo;t even made the final decision yet,&rdquo; he continued, &ldquo;but I think they have. John Deere is going to -&ndash; and anybody else that does this, because it&rsquo;s hurting our farmers, it&rsquo;s hurting our manufacturing &mdash; you&rsquo;re going to have a 200 percent tariff put on the product that you make in Mexico, right across the border.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>The scheme &mdash; to undercut American workers and strip them of their jobs for the enrichment of foreigners and domestic elites &mdash; would presumably crumble to the ground with an instant 200 percent markup from a future Trump administration.<\/p>\n<p>Trump said his move would result in either America making &ldquo;a lot of money&rdquo; and John Deere halting the Mexico opening, or the agricultural icon attempting to sell to another country.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;They&rsquo;re entitled to do that,&rdquo; Trump said. &ldquo;If they want to build in the country, in the United States, there&rsquo;s no tariff. You can go ahead and you can build in any one of the 50 states. You can go ahead.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>John Deere would be welcome to open manufacturing anywhere in the United States, Trump said, &ldquo;ideally&rdquo; at locations such as Michigan and South Carolina, where similar industries already exist.<\/p>\n<p>The average Americans living there would certainly welcome this investment.<\/p>\n<p>Trump noted the slippery slope farmers and American workers could both find themselves on as John Deere opts for foreign labor and an inferior product.
