President Trump said when trade deals are fixed and made fair the U.S. GDP will go much higher.
He made those remarks during a meeting with the emir of Kuwait Wednesday.
His remarks were reflective of what he has stated during the presidential campaign of 2016 as well as in the 1980s.

The president said the U.S. has the highest stock market in the history of the nation, a strong economy and record setting unemployment.
He went on to say the new trade deal with Mexico will ensure great relations going forward, but emphasized the need to make a fair trade deal with Canada. Teams of negotiators from the U.S. and Canada are hoping to reach an updated NAFTA agreement by this coming Friday.
“So, Canada is meeting with us right now as we speak. We have to make a fair deal with Canada — as you know they charge tariffs of 300-percent to dairy products, which a lot of people never understood. They have walls up against us doing business in Canada and yet they come and do business with us and we can’t let that happen.” — President Donald Trump
The president also said the U.S. working hard to bring stability in the Middle East and has a great relationship with Kuwait, which is making big investments in America through equipment purchases.
