(Breitbart)—Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that President Donald Trump wanted to “open up China for business.”
Discussing small businesses, host Jake Tapper said, “A lot of them saying, look, I support what President Trump wants to do. I support the idea of wanting to bring manufacturing back to the United States, but it can’t be done in in a month or three months or even a year that there’s just an entire infrastructure in this country that is lacking. They can’t buy what they would love to buy, most of them, as you know, if not all of them are patriotic. They want to buy American goods, but a lot of this stuff just isn’t made in America. I mean, this is we could go into a long history about the hollowing out of the manufacturing base. That is neither the fault of you, me, or President Trump but it did, it does exist, and it will take years to make the manufacturing infrastructure that these small businesses rely on.”
Bessent said, “Well, Jake, I think what we’re going to see, just like we saw with the UK trade deal my sense is it’s what we’ll see with China. We don’t want to decouple with China and President Trump actually wants to open up China for business. So the manufacturing we want to bring back we had. During Covid we realized that we had some very strategic shortfalls, whether it was medicines, semiconductors, steel, the other products. So the long term, the medium term goal is to bring back these strategic industries as quickly as possible. I think we will continue trading with China the in the kinds of products that these small businesses are talking about at lower tariff levels.”
At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
