Warren Buffett on the Importance of Trade and Exports (SelectUSA Interview)


Warren Buffett, CEO, Berkshire-Hathaway, talks about the importance of exports and trade to the U.S. economy.

 

Transcript of this video – 

0:08 >> Well we’ve seen in the United States, manufacturing come back very strong,
0:14 I mean our exports are, I think in the area of 12 percent of GD, if you go back 40 or 50 years,
0:21 and I can go back 40 or 50 years at my age, they were five percent so, we make a lot of things
0:26 that the world wants, and the world makes a lot of things that we want, I mean there,
0:29 the trade is, trade is the lifeblood of economic wellbeing, and I hope we do,
0:39 and I know we will do, even more trade in the future, and that requires that you turn
0:45 out things that the rest of the world likes.
0:47 So when we have that 12 percent of a economy our size that’s turning out goods for the rest
0:54 of the world, it shows that people in this country are able to not only come
0:59 up with the ideas of products that people want, but they’re able to produce them at a price
1:03 that makes sense for the world to buy them so it’s,
1:06 exports and imports are both enormously important to a strong economy
1:12 and they’re alive and well in the United States.
