LONG ISLAND, N.Y. -- Ahead of his upstate visits, Trump spoke to a crowd of thousands during a rally on Long Island Wednesday night.

The Republican presidential candidate talked about rebuilding our military, creating strong borders, fixing the trade deficit and bringing companies and jobs back to America.

"We have now $58 billion trade deficit with Mexico and our businesses, sadly, are leaving our country, going to other countries, they're leaving our jobs in Long Island, you know it better than almost anybody, our companies are being uprooted, taken out, they're moving to Mexico, they're moving to other countries, everybody is looking for jobs and you know what we're going to end the practice we're going to keep our companies here and we're bringing companies back to the United States," Trump said.

Trump lost the Wisconsin primary to Senator Ted Cruz Wednesday night, but is looking to bounce back in the delegate-rich Empire State.
