Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Friday that the United States must “reset the global order of trade” and that President Donald Trump is “absolutely right” in pushing for it.

Rubio made the comments while speaking at NATO headquarters in Brussels. He pushed back on a reporter’s claim that world economies are “crashing” following Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariffs.

“We have to be a country to think we’re the largest consumer market in the world, and yet the only thing we export is services, and we need to stop that,” Rubio said, according to Fox News. “We need to get back to a time where we are a country that can make things, and to do that, we have to reset the global order of trade.”

He went on to say that Trump has correctly determined that the way global trade works right now benefits other countries more than the U.S. and that fixing it is necessary.

“The worst thing we could do is leave the global trade system the way it is forever,” Rubio added.

He pointed to China as an example of the problem, saying the country does not consume much but instead floods markets with exports while keeping its own barriers high.

“If you’re a company and you make a bunch of your products in China and all of a sudden shareholders or people that play the stock market realize that it’s going to cost a lot more to produce in China, your stock is going to go down, but ultimately the markets, as long as they know what the rules are going to be moving forward, and as long as you can sustain where you’re going to be, the markets will adjust,” he said.

Rubio dismissed concerns about markets struggling, saying businesses just need clear rules.

“Businesses around the world, including in trade and global trade, they just need to know what the rules are. Once they know what the rules are, they will adjust to those rules,” he said. “So I don’t think it’s fair to say economies are crashing. Markets are crashing because markets are based on the stock value of companies who today are embedded in modes of production that are bad for the United States.”
