The latest news on the United States. On Sunday, United States President Donald Trump reiterated his stance on trade policy, stating that the United States should prioritise manufacturing tanks, ships, and technology rather than T-shirts and socks.

"I'm not looking to make T-shirts, to be honest. I'm not looking to make socks. We can do that very well in other locations. We are looking to do chips and computers and lots of other things, and tanks and ships," Trump said.
