The entire Trump Administration is committed to executing the President’s policy—supporting American workers, American manufacturing, and American industrial strength.

Manufacturing is an industry defined by ingenuity and innovation. Its impact is felt every day as it contributes $2.9 trillion to the U.S. economy, employs nearly 12.9 million American workers, and accounts for 11% of U.S. Gross Domestic Product. For ITA, this occasion also means underscoring our support for U.S. manufacturers as they compete and win around the globe!
