Made in America Day and Made in America Week, 2020

Proclamation 10093 of October 3, 2020

Made in America Day and Made in America Week,
2020

By the President of the United States of America

A Proclamation

The ``Made in America'' stamp stands for excellence in
craftsmanship. It is a testament to the expertise of
our millions of inventors, craftsmen, tradesmen, and
laborers who make up the most skilled, innovative, and
dedicated workforce in the world. On Made in America
Day, and throughout Made in America Week, we commend
these hardworking men and women and recommit ourselves
to strengthening American manufacturing as we rebuild
the greatest economy in our Nation's history for a
second time.

For too long, politicians failed to recognize the
critical importance of using American labor to make
American goods, so that the profits and jobs stay here
at home. They enabled American companies to ship their
jobs overseas and sat by while foreign companies ripped
off our products. They fostered in our country a
dangerous reliance on foreign countries while
neglecting American workers and American families.
These days are over. Under my Administration, these
forgotten men and women are forgotten no longer. I
pledged to always put American workers first, and as
President, I have delivered on that promise, vigorously
implementing trade and manufacturing policies that
encourage the building, creating, and growing of more
products right here at home. As a result, we are
creating jobs, improving lives, and strengthening our
families, our neighbors, and our Nation.

This year, the coronavirus pandemic has exposed the
profound failures of past trade and manufacturing
policies. It has never been clearer that foreign
dependence is not only the antithesis of the American
spirit, but it also endangers our national security in
times of crisis. To ensure domestic resilience moving
forward, my Administration has renegotiated
international trade agreements and enacted
manufacturing policies that encourage buying American
and hiring American like never before. Earlier this
year, the landmark United States-Mexico-Canada
Agreement took effect--reopening factories, bringing
home hundreds of thousands of jobs, and reasserting
America's manufacturing might. I have also signed
Executive Orders that strengthen production standards
under the Buy American Act and ensure the Federal
Government maximizes its use of American-made products.

As our Nation continues to reopen our economy, I call
on businesses to sign our Pledge to America's Workers.
The programs involved will be essential to getting
Americans back to work by educating, training, and
reskilling workers of all ages. More businesses taking
the Pledge will further our economic comeback and
ensure we regain the strides we had made under my
Administration.

``Made in America'' is not a slogan. It is a solemn
pledge. It is the foundation of our renewed success. On
every front, my Administration will continue to fight
for American workers, American jobs, and American
businesses to ensure prosperity today and for America's
future generations.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the
United States of America, by virtue of the authority
vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the
United States, do hereby proclaim October 5, 2020, as
Made in America Day and this week, October 4 through
October 10, 2020, as Made in America Week. I call upon
all Americans to pay special

tribute to builders, ranchers, crafters, entrepreneurs,
and all those who work with their hands every day to
make America great.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this
third day of October, in the year of our Lord two
thousand twenty, and of the Independence of the United
States of America the two hundred and forty-fifth.
