Reuters: Trump Says US Wants to Make Tanks, Not Shoes and T-Shirts MORRISTOWN, New Jersey, May 25 (Reuters) – President Donald Trump said on Sunday that his tariff policies are aimed at promoting domestic manufacturing of tanks and technology products, rather than sneakers and t-shirts. Reportedly, Trump told reporters as he boarded Air Force One in New Jersey before heading out on Sunday that he agreed with remarks made by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on April 29 that the U.S. does not necessarily need a "booming textile industry," comments that drew criticism from the National Council of Textile Organizations. "We don't want to do sneakers and t-shirts. We want to make military equipment. We want to do big things. We want to do artificial intelligence with computers," Trump said. "To be honest, I don't want to do t-shirts. I don't want to do socks. We can do well elsewhere. We are seeking chips, computers, and many other things, as well as tanks and ships."
