Launching a new economic tour in the critical swing state of Pennsylvania, President Donald Trump has offered American consumers a stark piece of advice regarding the rising cost of goods: simply buy less.
In a speech intended to address the 'affordability' concerns gripping the nation, Mr Trump defended his aggressive import taxes by suggesting that households have grown accustomed to an excess of cheap foreign-made products. Speaking to supporters at the Mount Airy Casino Resort on Tuesday, the President argued that the trade-off for restoring American industry was a reduction in the volume of disposable goods imported from nations like China.
