"Chips, Semiconductors, Computers, Ships, Trains, and so many other products that we have to learn from others how to make, or, in many cases, relearn because we used to be great at it, but not anymore,"

The statement emphasized temporary admission of foreign experts for complex manufacturing like chips and semiconductors.
