He stated: "we're going to bring thousands and thousands of businesses and trillions of dollars in wealth back to the good ole' USA."

Trump promised foreign companies the "lowest taxes" if you "make your product here in America."

The speech comes after opponent Kamala Harris kept her polling lead over Trump, as Harris was found to be better trusted to manage the economy - the Financial Times reports.

It comes as president Donald Trump told supporters he does not "think" he would run again for president in 2028 if he fails in his 2024 White House bid.

"No, I don't. I think that will be, that will be it," Mr Trump said when journalist Sharyl Attkisson asked him on Sunday if he would run again.
