(NewsNation) In one of the more policy-dense campaign speeches this election cycle, former President Donald Trump outlined his second-term vision for the economy in Savannah, Georgia, on Tuesday.

Trump spoke about the economy, jobs, and manufacturing, including plans to lower corporate taxes on companies that manufacture in the U.S. and a threat to impose tariffs on companies that move operations and jobs overseas.

The former president also promised Americans greater work opportunities, both in number and in competition with workers from other countries.

“Here is the deal that I will be offering to every major company and manufacturer on Earth,” Trump said. “I will give you the lowest taxes, the lowest energy costs, the lowest regulatory burden, and free access to the best and biggest market on the planet, but only if you make your product here in America.

“It all goes away if you don’t make your product here and hire American workers for the job.”

In response to the speech, the campaign of Vice President Kamala Harris posted on X arguing Trump’s proposed tariff policies would raise costs for Americans by an average of $4,000 a year.

As it stands, Trump leads Harris by 0.7% in Georgia based upon Decision Desk HQ’s average of 30 polls.
