The President: My fellow Americans,
Here at the White House, we are dedicating the
month of July to three of our favorite words.
Made in America.
For more than two centuries, those three
beautiful words have been the world standard for
quality, craftsmanship, and excellence, and they
still are today.
As President, one of my highest priorities is to
restore American manufacturing.
For decades, American jobs have been ripped out of
our communities.
Industries and towns have been stripped bare and the
entire communities have been uprooted and left.
Foreign nations got rich at America's expense and
many special interests profited from this great
global theft of American wealth.
Since taking the oath of office, our government has
adopted a new philosophy.
America first.
And believe me, it's about time.
The era of economic surrender is over and a
new national pride is sweeping across our land.
You see it, I see it, we all see it.
Industry confidence has soared to the highest
level ever recorded.
One of my first acts was ordering all federal
agencies to enforce two simple rules.
Buy American and hire American.
We want to build with American workers and with
American iron, aluminum, and steel.
We're also tearing down every possible barrier to
domestic energy production to unleash the full power
of our economy.
The American people will finally be allowed to tap
into the vast energy wealth sitting right
beneath our feet, or right now, below our shores.
We have also sent a clear message to the world that
we will not allow other nations to take advantage
of us any longer.
That's why I withdrew from the one-sided Paris
climate Accord, and believe me, it
was one-sided.
Not a good deal for our country and the
job-killing trans-pacific partnership.
And that's why we are pursuing a total
renegotiation of NAFTA, and if we don't get it, we
will terminate, that is, end NAFTA forever.
Every other nation on Earth protects
its own interests.
America is finally going to do the same and as we
continue to fight for American workers in
industry, it won't be long before we see the made in
America label proudly displayed on thousands of
new products all across this great land and
exported all around the world.
Thank you, god bless you.
God bless America.
We're all doing a job, we're working very hard,
it will be America first, it will be make
America great again.
It's happening.
