Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump made headlines on Monday by pledging to rescind a Biden administration rule limiting power plant pollution and reiterated his promise to block Nippon Steel's acquisition of U.S. Steel. The remarks, made during a speech in York, Pennsylvania, offered detailed insights into his economic plans for the first time on the campaign trail.

During the hour-long address, Trump committed to radically limiting foreign access to U.S. markets, ensuring essential goods would be produced 100% domestically if he wins the November election. The former president also spoke to a factory floor crowd in a working-class city, aiming to divert attention from the Democratic National Convention in Chicago.

Trump's commitments include eliminating EPA rules aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions from power plants and opening new nuclear reactor facilities. He also promised broad tax cuts and to invoke the Defense Production Act for increased production of essential products. Stakeholders from various sectors are keenly watching these developments as Pennsylvania emerges as a key battleground state.
