Donald Trump has vowed to take jobs from other countries if he wins the presidency in November through a program of tariff hikes and tax incentives that he believes will encourage foreign companies to relocate production to the US.
The Republican presidential nominee was speaking at a rally in Savannah, Georgia, on Tuesday as part of a week of swing state events.
On Monday night he told a crowd in Pennsylvania that he would be a “protector” for women who “will no longer be thinking about abortion” if he is re-elected.
Also at the rally in the city of Indiana, chants of “send them back” broke out after the former president whipped up the crowd about immigration.
Meanwhile, Kamala Harris has told Wisconsin Public Radio that she is in favor of axing the Senate filibuster in order to codify abortion protections that were previously guaranteed under Roe v Wade.
The latest Reuters poll has Harris up six points nationally but a Quinnipiac University poll also released today has the candidates neck-and-neck among likely voters. A CNN poll also showed the pair locked in an exceedingly close race — with Harris 48 per cent to Trump’s 47 per cent.

Trump admits he is ‘childlish’ and says he has ‘personality defect’
Trump made an unusually self-aware admission at the rally in Pennsylvania on Monday night, saying perhaps he had a “personality defect”.
The former president was describing his reluctance to do an interview with the libertarian TV host Greg Gutfeld when he got a little personal.
“He asked me for an interview, and I said ‘You know, I’ll do it, but begrudgingly – ten minutes’. I don’t really want to do it, because he doesn’t like me,” Trump said.
“I guess I don’t like anybody that doesn’t like me, I’ll be honest,” he continued, prompting cheers and laughter from the crowd.
“When they don’t like me, I don’t like them, okay? It sounds childish... that’s the way it is. Call it a personality defect.”
