US President Donald Trump has called on foreign companies investing in the United States to train American workers in advanced manufacturing sectors, including semiconductors, shipbuilding, and high-tech machinery. He suggested that foreign experts temporarily assist to ensure knowledge transfer and long-term industrial growth.

Trump highlighted the decline in US shipbuilding, stressing that learning from foreign expertise is key to rebuilding domestic capabilities and achieving independence in critical industries. He reassured investors that the US welcomes foreign participation while aiming to eventually surpass them in manufacturing excellence, according to Reuters.

His remarks come as companies, particularly carmakers from China, Mexico, and Canada, shift production to US to avoid tariffs and benefit from trade protections.
