Trump: "Up to 300% Tariffs if No Factory Is Built in the U.S. Within 1.5 Years"

[Financial News] U.S. President Donald Trump threatened to impose tariffs of up to 300% if factories are not built in the United States within a year and a half.
 According to foreign media reports and industry sources on the 4th, President Trump said during a campaign rally at a high school in Ohio on the 3rd (local time), "We give foreign companies about a year and a half to build factories in the United States. If they don't, we impose tariffs of 150%, 200%, 250% or 300%." Ohio is one of the biggest battlegrounds in November's midterm elections.
 President Trump added, "In the end, all of them are building factories here in the United States," saying that the United States is securing trillions of dollars through the policy.
 Ohio is the first battleground state President Trump has visited since his nationwide campaign tour on the 1st, where Republican and Democratic candidates are running neck and neck in the polls.
 Oklahoma and Alabama, which he visited earlier, are states where Republican candidates are leading Democratic candidates in Senate election polls.
 President Trump said, "I won all three presidential elections in Ohio and received the most votes in the state's history," emphasizing, "We must defeat the radical-left Democratic Party again in this election."
 Meanwhile, President Trump has been focusing on rallying the Republican base by posting video messages on social media recently. In another video, he said, "We will use funds to improve Medicare for seniors to pay more than 20 million beneficiaries an amount close to $100 within days."
