We are bringing manufacturing back to the United States, we’re reducing taxes, very substantially, and we’re reducing unnecessary regulations. We are going to make the process very simple for the auto companies and everybody else who wants to have the business in the U.S. and you are going to find us to be from very unhospitable to extremely hospitable,” Trump told reporters at the meeting
Trump told the CEOs that environmental regulations are “out of control” and promised he would remove obstacles for manufacturers and oil companies.

Maybe more,” Trump said. “When you want to expand your plant, or when Mark wants to come in and build a big massive plant, or when Dell wants to come in and do something monstrous and special — you’re going to have your approvals really fast.”
