The State of American ManufacturingEditorial illustrationLIVE

The State of American Manufacturing

The Council of Economic Advisers (CEA) evaluated President Trump’s impact on the manufacturing sector— reviewing his second term to date. Reviewing a wide range of evidence, the data demonstrates that the manufacturing sector is seeing robust growth with the Trump Administration’s pro-growth policies. Manufacturing jobs are reshoring in America after the Biden Administration shipped over 200,000 American jobs overseas in its last two years, factory construction is soaring as President Trump’s tariff policies incentivized companies to make their products here in the USA. Made-in-America manufacturing positions the United States at the forefront of critical industries for our national security, including aerospace, aircraft equipment, natural gas and petroleum production, and metals. Now the world’s largest energy exporter, the United States continues to strengthen its leadership across the energy sector, while a new renaissance in American steel production is reinforcing domestic industrial capacity. The manufacturing resurgence we are witnessing reinforces America’s dominance as a global leader, but also has positive impacts on the labor sector as we see more American jobs, increased wages, and company expansions that stimulate Main Street local economies…

Presidential Message on Leif Erikson Day

Half a millennium before legendary American hero Christopher Columbus set foot in the New World, Norse explorer Leif Erikson made history as the first European to arrive on the North American continent. This Leif Erikson Day, we celebrate his exceptional legacy of bravery, daring, and exploration as we build upon our extraordinary relationships with our Nordic partners and open a glorious new chapter in America’s Arctic story. Born in 970, Leif Erikson developed a love for exploration and adventure that he would carry through his entire life, a calling that would change the world for centuries to come. His steadfast Christian faith gave him the conviction to sail into the unknown, voyaging over 1,800 miles across the Atlantic with a small crew of 35 men and overcoming raging winds, crashing waves, and crippling storms to reach the shores of L’Anse aux Meadows in northern Newfoundland, Canada—the land he named “ Vinland .” In doing so, he opened the door between two worlds and proved that no ocean could hold back the course of discovery—the same daring spirit that would one…

President Trump Is Putting American Industry, Jobs, and Paychecks Back on the Map

President Donald J. Trump is delivering on his promise to the American worker: build it here, power it here, and put paychecks back in the communities Washington left behind. In a matter of weeks, President Trump has locked in a run of steel, nuclear, gas, shipbuilding, and medical manufacturing commitments that will hire American workers and strengthen American security.

In less than 2 years since returning to office, my Administration has transformed the United States into the most dominant energy superpower in the history of the world. We have reversed the disastrous oil, gas, and vehicle regulations that crippled our industries, burdened consumers, and stifled economic growth, including rescinding the Obama-era Endangerment Finding this past February — a ruling that handed Washington bureaucrats sweeping power to over regulate our vehicles and power plants in the name of climate alarmism. Its repeal stands as the single largest deregulatory action in American history.

Columbus Day, 2026

BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA More than five centuries ago, Christopher Columbus embarked westward across uncharted waters and discovered the New World — bringing with him the rich traditions of Western civilization and paving the way to the birth of the American Nation less than three centuries later. Today, we honor his life of valor, adventure, and ingenuity. We cherish his memory and pledge to safeguard his story. Above all, we remember with gratitude that the triumph of freedom and the glory of our Republic are the fruits of his faith and unrelenting devotion. In August of 1492, Columbus departed the shores of Spain to chart a new trade route to Asia. With his crew of about 90 men aboard the Niña, the Pinta, and the Santa María, for more than 2 grueling months, he pressed onward across the vast and unforgiving Atlantic Ocean — braving violent storms and treacherous waters. Through every trial, Columbus never wavered, holding his crew to the mission when most others would have turned back. When Columbus and his crew made…

Presidential Message on German American Day

The German American story began on October 6, 1683, when 13 families from Krefeld, after braving the Atlantic in search of opportunity, landed on our shores and soon founded Germantown, Pennsylvania—the first permanent German settlement in America. In the centuries since, German Americans have farmed the fields of our heartland and powered the industries that turned our young country into the mightiest economic powerhouse in the world . Their sons and daughters have defended American freedom in every era, serving valiantly in both World Wars and standing watch through the long struggle against communism during the Cold War. In our own time, their descendants continue to serve in our Armed Forces, work the factories and family farms that sustain our Nation, and lead the businesses and communities that keep the American Dream alive for all of our citizens. This spirit endures in the long-standing relationship between the United States and Germany—a relationship sustained by our mutual respect, and a shared desire for peace and prosperity.

WHAT THEY ARE SAYING: President Trump Delivers Immediate Diesel Relief, Saving Americans Up to $100 Per Fill

Last night, President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Order that immediately cuts diesel costs by authorizing highway use of tax-free dyed diesel and deferring the federal diesel excise tax through the end of the year. The decisive action — expected to save drivers as much as $100 per fill — puts real money back in the pockets of farmers, ranchers, truckers, loggers, and working families at the exact moment harvest demands it most. Here’s what they’re saying: President Donald J. Trump : “Today, I am announcing another unprecedented step to bring down costs. For many years, farm vehicles, construction equipment, and other off-road vehicles have used what is known as ‘red dye’ diesel… which is exactly the same as normal diesel, but is sold tax-free for off-road vehicles and big trucks… Tonight, I am going to sign a historic Executive Order to officially waive the off-road requirement and allow anyone to purchase tax-free red dye diesel for any reason.” Vice President JD Vance : “Another example of President Trump acting quickly to tackle an urgent issue.

During Fire Prevention Week, my Administration honors the memory of America’s courageous firefighters and first responders for their extraordinary service and sacrifice.

I encourage every American to take simple steps to protect their homes, families, and communities from preventable fires. Fire safety begins at home. Every family can take precautions to prevent fires, and to better protect themselves and their loved ones. These can include mapping out a home escape plan, testing smoke and carbon monoxide alarms every month, replacing the worn wiring and overloaded outlets that spark so many household fires, or practicing safe charging habits that minimize the potential of fires from ubiquitous electronic devices. These commonsense steps can save lives by preventing fire or by ensuring families are prepared in the event of an emergency. My Administration remains committed to protecting American lives from the threat of fires and improving our country’s ability to prevent and respond to them.

President Trump Takes Decisive Action to Lower Diesel Costs for American Truckers, Farmers

Tonight, President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Order to immediately cut diesel costs for the truckers and farmers who keep America moving. The order temporarily opens highway use of tax-free dyed diesel, deferring the federal diesel tax on that fuel through the end of the year — no interest, no penalties. With elevated diesel prices and tightened global supply driven by the Russia-Ukraine war and a lack of refining capacity around the world, this is President Trump’s affordability agenda in action. The federal diesel tax is 24.4 cents per gallon , or about $60 on a 250-gallon fill. Where states match this federal action, savings will top $100 per fill — a real difference for the hardworking Americans who haul the freight and grow the food.

BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA For 250 years, American workers have been the driving force behind our Nation’s strength, prosperity, and industrial might. Their skill, ingenuity, and determination have fueled our economy and carried American manufacturing to new heights. On National Manufacturing Day, we honor the men and women who make, build, and create in America — and we celebrate the extraordinary comeback of American manufacturing. As President, my highest priority has been putting America First by restoring our Nation’s manufacturing and bringing back good-paying American jobs. I have imposed powerful tariffs to protect American workers and businesses from unfair trade practices, and as a result, we are seeing the greatest reshoring of American manufacturing in our Nation’s history, alongside a surge in demand for products Made in America. Since I returned to office, I have secured more than $11.2 trillion in United States and foreign investments across manufacturing, critical infrastructure, and technology sectors. Groundbreakings of new factories are surging with 112,000 new factory construction workers building since I returned to office. The factory construction jobs…

Presidential Message on Down Syndrome Awareness Month

Every child is a gift from God, created in His image and likeness, bringing hope, love, and a future filled with promise to our Nation and the world. This Down Syndrome Awareness Month, I join millions of Americans in celebrating the lives, accomplishments, and contributions of people with Down syndrome and honor the families and communities who stand beside them each and every day. Americans with Down syndrome enrich every life they touch, meeting the world with a sincerity and joy that make our classrooms brighter and our communities stronger. Their condition arises from a single extra chromosome, a small difference that can slow a child’s development and bring challenges to families who love and care for them. In recent decades, our Nation’s doctors and researchers have answered these challenges with remarkable scientific discoveries, and in so doing have greatly enhanced the quality of life for children and adults living with Down syndrome. As President, I have taken action to protect every innocent life and empower young Americans, including those living with Down syndrome, to lead long, productive, and fulfilling…

Presidential Message on National Cybersecurity Awareness Month

In an age of rapid digital advancement, cyberspace has emerged as the new frontier of American innovation, prosperity, and strength. As new technologies open doors to discovery and opportunity that were once unimaginable, a secure cyberspace is essential to ensuring that America continues to lead the world in finance, military power, emerging technology, and manufacturing. During National Cybersecurity Awareness Month, my Administration reaffirms our dedication to bolstering our Nation’s cybersecurity, protecting the American People, and unleashing the Golden Age of Cyberspace. Every American relies on the digital world for information, economic opportunity, and the simple routines of daily life. Freedom and security in cyberspace, however, can never be taken for granted. For too long, adversaries and cybercriminals exploited our connected way of life to target our citizens, communities, and businesses without consequence. My Administration has put an end to this era of weakness. As President, I signed an Executive Order to combat cybercrime, fraud, and predatory schemes and stop foreign criminal networks from preying on vulnerable Americans. In March, I released my Cyber Strategy for America—a bold vision for the…

Presidential Message on National Domestic Violence Awareness Month

In communities across our great Nation, domestic violence destroys families, harms innocent children, and leaves lasting pain in our neighborhoods. For America to be strong, children must feel safe in their homes, spouses and significant others must be respected, and it must be a universal truth that violence in any form is unacceptable. This National Domestic Violence Awareness Month, my Administration reaffirms its commitment to permanently ending domestic violence and ensuring every American can live free from the threat of violence. For as many as 10 million Americans, the unrelenting fear of violence in our homes, places of work, and other social settings make it impossible to enjoy life and foster healthy relationships. Behind every one of these numbers is a fellow American robbed of the safety and peace that our Nation promises to all its people. As President, I will always uplift survivors of domestic violence and make certain that shelters, counselors, advocates, and hotlines have the resources they need to answer each and every call for help. Help is always within reach, and you are never alone. If…

Presidential Message on National Breast Cancer Awareness Month

During National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we celebrate the resilience and courage of our Nation’s four million breast cancer survivors, extend our unwavering support to those currently in the fight, and honor the memory of beloved family members and friends lost to this terrible disease. In an instant, a breast cancer diagnosis forever changes the life of the patient and the lives of those around them. This year in the United States, more than 380,000 women will receive this devastating news, and approximately 40,000 souls will be lost to breast cancer. Thanks to medical breakthroughs, increased public awareness, and early detection, survival rates have drastically improved—but these numbers represent shattered lives and families, and that is unacceptable. Through our historic mission to Make America Healthy Again, my Administration is committed to conquering chronic illness and advancing cutting-edge research, treatment options, and innovative therapies that will enhance the quality of life for men and women battling breast cancer and other diseases. Under my leadership, we will never stop working to deliver the breakthroughs, treatments, and cures that American patients and families…

The Real Cost of Socialism in America

Upon taking office, the Trump Administration immediately worked to secure the border, unleash American energy, usher in a wave of new investment, make life affordable for working families, and right-size the federal government. These policies have driven a manufacturing boom, turned America into an energy-producing powerhouse, and made the country more affordable for hardworking Americans. There is, of course, more to be done, but we finally have an economy built around rewarding the people who do the actual building. The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) have offered an alternative vision, one relying on taking resources from workers and entrepreneurs or taxing the income of future generations to finance massive spending today. The Council of Economic Advisers took them at their word, examined their policy proposals , and, in the chapters that follow, scored how much their economic agenda would cost the country. A summary of the key findings of the report are available here: And the full research report is available here:

Nearly Two Years In, President Trump Is Still Stacking Historic Wins at Record Speed

On Day One, President Donald J.

The Department of Justice Files Complaint Against the University of Delaware Challenging Policies that Provide In-State Tuition to Illegal Aliens

Today, the Department of Justice filed a lawsuit against the University of Delaware for violating federal law by prioritizing the needs of illegal aliens over U.S. citizens in defiance of Congress’s commands. The Department is challenging the University of Delaware’s policy which grants in-state tuition for illegal aliens while denying reduced tuition to U.S. citizens. This policy unconstitutionally discriminates against U.S. citizens who are not afforded the same reduced tuition rate, which is in direct conflict with federal law.
