Asserting that restoring American manufacturing is his top priority, US President Donald Trump on Saturday said that he is tearing down every possible barrier to domestic energy production to unleash the full power of the US economy.
"For decades, American jobs have been ripped out of our communities, industries and towns have been stripped bare, and the entire communities have been uprooted and left. Foreign nations got rich at America's expense - and many special interests profited from this great global theft of American wealth," Trump said.
In his weekly radio and web address to the nation, he said that as President, one of his highest priorities is to restore American Manufacturing.
