That\u2019s right\u2009.\u2009.\u2009. We need our medicines and we need semiconductors and our electronics to be built in America.\u201dHis comments will stoke uncertainty for businesses over Trump\u2019s tariff rollout, which has been marked by a series of reversals and last week caused an intense sell-off in the $29tn US Treasuries market.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
