Trump said tariffs will cause prices to drop. So why is he warning manufacturers not to raise prices?

He wants to tank the US dollar because it is too strong. That will make US exports cheaper for other countries to buy and imports more expensive thus encouraging domestic production. It will also reduce interest payments. However, it will be inflationary and on the scale of the American economy would lead to a trade war.

I tried to discover whether America owns much debt of other countries in the form of foreign-issued bonds but Google does not recognise the possibility for some reason. No matter how I phrase it, it will only answer with the quantities of American Treasury bonds these countries own. The reason for knowing is that it would increase the payments for foreign-issued bonds.
