Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump said voters would see a "mass exodus of manufacturing" to America from South Korea, China and other countries if they elected him in November, as he intensified efforts to woo swing voters in a battleground state.
In fact, the remarks were made during a campaign speech on tax policy in Savannah, Georgia, on Tuesday. According to various polls, the former president and his Democratic rival, Kamala Harris, are neck and neck; less than six weeks are left for the general election. The report was made by the Yonhap news agency.
Vote for Trump, and you will see a mass exodus of manufacturing from China to Pennsylvania, from Korea to North Carolina, from Germany to right here in Georgia," he said. "They're going to come to Georgia from Germany and other places."
He also swore that if he were to win again, he would hand a "manufacturing" ambassador the responsibility of implementing "pro-manufacturing" policies.
"I'm going to appoint a manufacturing ambassador whose sole task — and it'll be a great one — will be to go around the world and convince major manufacturers to pack up and move back to America," he said.
He attacked Harris, calling her a "tax queen" and claimed she wants the "largest capital gains tax" in American history.
"It's called an unrealised capital gain. That means that you're going to pay a capital gain even if you haven't realised it," he said.
Presidential candidates in South Korea and other countries have been taking close attentions toward presidential candidates' speeches during their election campaigns due to the event that might have influences on the policies about America's trade, diplomacy, and other fields.
