President-elect Trump’s Stance on Foreign Investment

On December 2, President-elect Donald Trump made a bold statement regarding the potential acquisition of U.S. Steel by Nippon Steel of Japan. In a post on his Truth Social account, Trump expressed his opposition to the once great and powerful U.S. Steel being bought by a foreign company.

However, despite his apparent disapproval of foreign investment in U.S. companies, Trump’s stance on the matter is more nuanced than it may seem at first glance. In a recent article titled “Why Trade Should be Free” published in Defining Ideas on October 30, 2024, it was revealed that Trump actually advocates for more foreign investment in the United States.

During a speech at the Economic Club of Chicago, Trump emphasized his desire to impose high tariffs in order to incentivize foreign firms to move their production to the United States. He specifically mentioned that foreign companies should build their plants in the U.S. rather than simply buying existing facilities. The reasoning behind this preference was not explicitly stated by Trump.

Interestingly, Vice-President-elect JD Vance, who previously recognized the benefits of allowing foreign companies to invest in struggling domestic firms, seems to have shifted his perspective. In his book “Hillbilly Elegy,” Vance highlighted the positive impact of the Kawasaki merger on a struggling American company, acknowledging the importance of foreign investment in revitalizing the manufacturing sector.

It appears that Trump’s opposition to the potential acquisition of U.S. Steel stems from a desire to protect the company’s owners’ property rights and prevent the sale of a stalwart American institution to a foreign entity. While his intentions may be rooted in a desire to safeguard domestic interests, the complexities of international trade and investment require a more nuanced approach.
