But he's also pro-American worker and pro-union.Trump implemented a somewhat unconventional republican economic plan when he was in office -- raising tariffs on foreign goods and creating incentives for American businesses to bring operations home. Critics called it protectionist and anti-globalist. Trump called it Amercia First. J-D Vance has said of a second Trump term: “You're going to see a much more aggressive approach to protecting domestic manufacturers.” Gold continues to shine. An anticipated rate cut by the Federal Reserve is perhaps keeping prices near record levels. U-S gold futures climbed today and the spot gold price edged higher to about 24-hundred-dollars. This comes after hitting an all-time high just yesterday.
