Philadelphia: “Made in India” versus “Make in America” has emerged an election issue in the US.
Democratic Party’s presidential nominee Hillary Clinton on Thursday night criticised her Republican rival Donald Trump for making in India the picture frames he sells under his brand.
In her speech accepting the party nomination on Thursday night here, one of her many criticisms of Trump was that while he has said he would bring back jobs to the US through a policy of Make in America, his own products were made abroad.
One of the products she cited were Trump picture frames made in India.
Her campaign has identified them as the “Donald Trump Park Avenue Collection” — four inches by six inches (about 10cm X 15cm) picture frames. They are supplied by IMAX Corporation in Tulsa, Oklahoma state, which says on its website that it sources products from India and China.
