The President outlined several measures taken since he assumed office aimed at revitalizing American manufacturing and protecting national interests. These include implementing reciprocal tariffs to curb the outsourcing of jobs and efforts to stop the flow of fentanyl into the United States. Furthermore, initiatives have been prioritized to prepare Americans for future job opportunities.
During this week dedicated to world trade, President Trump reaffirmed his commitment to combating unfair trade practices across various sectors, including agriculture and entrepreneurship. He also mentioned recent developments such as the United States-United Kingdom trade agreement as part of efforts to expand opportunities for American businesses abroad.
In closing, President Trump declared May 18 through May 24, 2025, as World Trade Week. He expressed his vision for a new era characterized by strong economic growth driven by America First policies.
