US President-elect Donald Trump¹ says he will impose punitive² taxes on US firms that move manufacturing overseas. 

 

美国候任总统特朗普表示，他将对制造业迁至国外的美国企业征收35%的惩罚性关税。

 

Mr Trump promised a 35% tax on products sold in the US by any business that fired American workers, and built a factory elsewhere. 

 

Firms should be "forewarned prior to making a very expensive mistake", he said. 

 

Mr Trump has promised to help blue-collar workers, as well as reduce taxes and regulations on businesses. 

 

"The US is going to substantially reduce taxes and regulations on businesses, but any business that leaves our country for another country, fires its employees, builds a new factory or plant in the other country, and then thinks it will sell its product back into the US without retribution or consequence, is WRONG!", the Republican tweeted.

 

"There will be a tax on our soon to be strong border of 35% for these companies wanting to sell their product, cars, A.C. units etc., back across the border," he went on. 

 

"This tax will make leaving financially difficult, but these companies are able to move between all 50 states, with no tax or tariff³ being charged. 

 

"Please be forewarned prior to making a very expensive mistake! THE UNITED STATES IS OPEN FOR BUSINESS."
