                         TRUMP POLICIES SUCCEED

  (Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Madam Speaker, I am grateful that the 
Democratic Presidential debate was last night in my birthplace, the 
holy city of Charleston, where they would see firsthand the successes 
of the economic policies of Donald Trump creating jobs.
  When President Trump visits North Charleston Friday, the facts are 
clear. The Post and Courier, on February 7, by David Wren, reported 
``SC Extends Global Reach.''
  ``By air and sea, South Carolina boosted the dollar amount of goods 
exported to foreign countries to a record of $41.5 billion in 2019--
nearly 20 percent better than the previous year, despite the threat of 
tariffs.
  ``Dreamliner jets built at Boeing Co.'s North Charleston plant and 
vehicles manufactured by BMW in the Upstate and Volvo cars in the 
Lowcountry combined for more than half of the total, or roughly $24.4 
billion . . . . `'
  ``The dollar amount of outbound goods has swelled by 68 percent since 
2011, and South Carolina now accounts for 35 percent of all U.S. tire 
exports and 16 percent of all U.S. vehicle exports.''
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
  Best wishes to Zach Caldwell on his visit to Washington.
