But despite a similarity in messaging between Biden’s “Buy American” and Trump’s “America First” rhetoric, the two candidates’ policy plans significantly diverge.

President Donald Trump did not specify what parts of Joe Biden’s economic plans were plagiarized.

President Donald Trump on Friday accused former Vice President Joe Biden of plagiarizing his economic policies, a day after the presumptive Democratic nominee unveiled a plan to promote American manufacturing and goods.

But despite some similarities in messaging between Biden’s “Buy American” and Trump’s “America First” rhetoric, the two candidates’ policy plans significantly diverge.

Biden’s “Build Back Better” economic plan features a “Buy American” component that would invest $400 billion in government procurement that the campaign says would boost demand for U.S.-made products.

The Biden campaign responded to Trump's comments by saying Biden’s plan is the antithesis of the president’s economic policies.

White House counselor Kellyanne Conway claimed Biden’s “Buy American” focus was copied from Trump’s 2016 campaign
