National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) President and CEO Jay Timmons issued the following statement on the President-elect’s announcement on the creation of the White House National Trade Council under the leadership of Dr. Peter Navarro.
“Great things are on the horizon for manufacturers. Americans voted for change this election, and we’re energized by President-elect Donald Trump’s continued strong commitment to manufacturing in the United States. Today the President-elect sent another clear signal to the millions of Americans employed in manufacturing that they will be ‘put first’ in his Administration.
“We welcome the President-elect’s decision to put action behind the force of his words with the formation of the White House National Trade Council. We look forward to working with the President-elect and Dr. Navarro to enact the policies we need to strengthen and grow manufacturing in America.”
