Am Allowed to Destroy any Country. Trump
In a recent statement, former President Donald Trump voiced his frustration regarding the constraints on charging fees to businesses while still maintaining the ability to enforce embargoes. He highlighted the apparent contradiction in U.S. regulations that allow government leaders extensive powers, yet restrict them in other areas.
Trump remarked, “So I’m allowed to destroy the country, but I can’t charge them a little fee…I cannot charge them anything.” This comment underscores his belief that he should have more leeway in financial dealings with companies.
By pointing out these contradictions, Trump aims to shed light on what he perceives as an unreasonable aspect of U.S. trade policy. He further stated, “How ridiculous is that? I’m allowed to embargo them. I’m allowed to tell them you can’t do business in the United States anymore. We want you out of here. But if I want to charge them $10, I can’t do that.”
These remarks come at a time of heightened scrutiny over how U.S. businesses are treated in the global market and indicate Trump’s ongoing engagement with economic policies that affect both local and international trade.
As the debate over business regulations continues, Trump’s comments will likely fuel conversations on the balance of government power and the rights of business entities in the U.S.
