'Now I have to tell you that some of the folks will leave, they're leaving out of embarrassment because they make their products outside.'
When asked specifically about companies Merck and Intel who have operations in Ireland, Trump responded:
'I've been lecturing them, including the gentlemen you're referring to, about you have to bring it back to this country.'
Rather than putting pressure on the businesspeople of the Manufacturing Council & Strategy & Policy Forum, I am ending both. Thank you all!

'You can't do it necessarily in Ireland and all of these other places, you have to bring this work back to this country, that's what I want,' he said.
'I want manufacturing to be back into the United States so that American workers can benefit.'
