Donald Trump declined to make a firm commitment on moving manufacturing of his clothing line out of China and Mexico to the United States, saying currency devaluation was to blame.

“They devalue their currencies. I will do that, and by the way, I’ve been doing it more and more," Trump said. "But they devalue their currencies, in particular China. Mexico's doing a big number, Japan is unbelievable what they're doing and they make it impossible for clothing makers in this country to clothing in this country."

Trump then slammed the Trans-Pacific Partnership as "a total disaster," noting that Marco Rubio supports it.

Rubio hit back, saying Trump's answer on manufacturing was a dodge and that Trump's production would remain overseas. “The answer is he’s not going to do it, and you know why," Rubio said, insinuating Trump was unwilling to do it because it would cost him money.
