President Trump has delineated the upcoming objectives for the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) in a letter addressed to Michael Kratsios, the Assistant to the President and OSTP Director. Signed recently, the communication lays out a vision described as the "Golden Age of American Innovation."
President Trump emphasized a renewed focus on technological and scientific advancement. He stated, "now, after 4 long years of weakness and complacency, we must set our sights even higher. I am calling upon you to blaze a trail to the next frontiers of science. We have the opportunity to cement America’s global technological leadership and usher in the Golden Age of American Innovation. We are not just competing with other nations; we are seeking, striving, fighting to make America greater than ever before.”
Michael Kratsios, who serves as the APST and OSTP Director, echoed the President's enthusiasm for progress. He remarked, “by accelerating U.S. tech leadership, restoring our scientific enterprise, and promoting opportunity for all Americans, we will usher in a Golden Age of innovation. When FDR gave his science advisor Vannevar Bush a mandate to chart a course for U.S. research and development, American boots soon left their mark on the moon. Today, with President Trump’s agenda for American science and technology, we will achieve future triumphs and explore new frontiers.”
