Trump Gives Notice to the World, “I Am Always Going to Put America First”
In his speech to the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in Da Nang, Vietnam, President Donald Trump pushed his “America First” agenda and said his administration would fight “chronic trade abuses,” the Washington Free Beacon reported.During his Friday remarks to the summit, in which accusations of “unfair trade practices” played a major role, Trump put his audience on notice: “We are not going to let the United States be taken advantage of anymore.”
“While we lowered or ended tariffs, reduced trade barriers, other countries did not open their markets to us,” Trump said. “The current trade balance is not acceptable.”
Trump used the occasion to push his “America First” economic agenda. “I am always going to put America first, the same way that I expect all of you in this room to put your countries first,” the president said, garnering applause.
“Jobs, factories, and industries were stripped out of the United States and out of many countries in addition,” Trump said. “And many opportunities for mutually beneficial investments were lost because people could not trust the system.
“We can no longer tolerate these chronic trade abuses. And we will not tolerate them,” he continued.
“I do not blame China or any other country, of which there are many, for taking advantage of the United States on trade,” he added. “If their representatives are able to get away with it, they are just doing their jobs.
“I wish previous administrations in my country saw what was happening and did something about it,” the president continued. “They did not, but I will.
“From this day forward, we will compete on a fair and equal basis. We are not going to let the United States be taken advantage of any more.”
Economic nationalism and job creation have been big items on the president’s agenda, obviously, but the venue for airing them was certainly interesting — and telling.
By making the remarks at a meeting of world leaders on foreign soil, Trump threw down the gauntlet on trade, letting the world at large know that this isn’t just about campaign rhetoric.
Now, he has to step up and prove he can turn words into deeds.

Fairness and honesty in trade? Impeach!! America first? Impeach! Someone who is actually doing something for the right side of history? Impeach!! Shall we go on? Impeach!
Can anyone verify this? Are there any other news sources? I have a problem because it refers to "coming to enjoy beautiful view of Lake Huron" but you can't see Lake Huron from North Dakota ?
President Trump has returned sovereignty to the people. HE can do very little without the backing of CONGRESS & they are obstructing him to bring him down. The PEOPLE are the rightful FOURTH BRANCH to our self-governance NOT THE MEDIA... so why does everyone take the 'let's see if he can do it' attitude...NO he cannot do it with out the POWER of the PPL to hold CONGRESS ACCOUNTABLE- The traitorous RINOS are deliberately working to give control back to their traitorous commie Democrat comrades. If the American people don't get involved politically then our REPUBLIC will be forever lost. The godless will have full control & if that happens you haven't seen anything yet to how demonic this world will be. America is the last beacon of freedom and why they're desperately trying to take down our Constitutional Sovereign protection once and for all... President Trump at the UN Speech gave it back to us.... What are WE going to do?
