President Trump on Sunday claimed his administration's steep tariffs on other nations are "working big time," despite little evidence to back that claim up.

The president fired off a pair of tweets vowing to tax any country that doesn't agree to "make or build" its products in the United States.

"In either event, it means jobs and great wealth," Trump tweeted.

He argued that tariffs will allow his administration to pay down the rapidly rising debt, while also cutting taxes. However, there's been little indication thus far that the tariffs will provide such a surplus in funding, and the national debt has continued to rise under the Trump administration.
