Ryan in Iowa

If he won the White House, [Ryan]would focus on competing with China and creating manufacturing jobs in growing industries, like electric vehicles, in the United States.

By 2030, he said 30 million electric vehicles will be manufactured and all of the production that surrounds the electric vehicle industry — from batteries to charging stations — should be in the United States.

Beyond cars, Ryan said he also wants to bring manufacturing for solar panels and wind energy technology back to the United States. He said 60 percent of solar panel manufacturing happens in China, and competing with the rising global leader will take more than tariffs.
