I just imposed a series of tariffs on goods made in China: 25% on steel and aluminum, 50% on semiconductors, 100% on EVs, And 50% on solar panels. China is determined to dominate these industries. I'm determined to ensure America leads the world in them.

Suddenly concocting anti Indian energy out of nowhere is embarrassing yall. Also, they were clear they planned to do this. My step dad's Indian, I had a fire childhood in a half Indian household. Indian culture jives very well w western culture.

The MacBook Neo is basically the Walmart M1 MacBook Air. But new. Their specs are a bit different: Neo has a better webcam, display, CPU/NPU. M1 Air had a better GPU, battery, a Force Touch trackpad. Both had 8GB memory. Both had 256GB storage. Both were $599.

I know many are skeptical about the need for clean energy. Some don’t believe climate change is real – they're wrong. The clean energy transition is already happening, and the United States must win. This will shape the future of the global economy and the planet.
