Jobs and factories will come roaring back into our country, and you see it happening already. We will supercharge our domestic industrial base.

This will be indeed the golden age of America. It's coming back and we're going to come back very strongly.

This is one of the most important days, in my opinion, in American history. It's our declaration of economic independence.

From 1789 to 1913, we were a tariff-backed nation and the United States was proportionately the wealthiest it has ever been. So wealthy, in fact, that in the 1880s, they established a commission to decide what they were going to do with the vast sums of money they were collecting.

Then in 1929 it all came to a very abrupt end with the Great Depression. And it would have never happened if they had stayed with the tariff policy.

We get to do business all over the world, and it's rare to have such a big economy [India], growing so fast, and creating so much opportunity for so many. We want to be part of the process to strengthen the country, to serve its citizens and to demonstrate that we're a trusted partner across all these dimensions.
