World Trade Week, 2025

Proclamation 10944 of May 24, 2025

World Trade Week, 2025

By the President of the United States of America

A Proclamation

This World Trade Week, we reaffirm our commitment to
balanced and reciprocal trade with the world. For far
too long, globalist elites sold out the American worker
and let other countries unfairly take our factories,
our jobs, and our dreams. Those days are over. America
will not be treated unfairly or disrespected. The
United States, and the American worker, will be put
first.

While seeking this office, I called for a future that
protects the American worker. A future that puts
American workers' dreams over corporate profits. A
future that raises American wages, strengthens American
industry, builds national pride, and defends this
country's national interests.

My Administration is delivering that future. Since
assuming office, I have taken action to provide a
better life for all Americans and especially the
millions of Americans left by the wayside as jobs were
shipped overseas. I have enacted reciprocal tariffs to
stop the hollowing out of American manufacturing and to
bring vital jobs back to America. I have enacted
tariffs to stop the flow of fentanyl into America, so
that our citizens are not poisoned by the hands of
foreign countries. And to prepare for the influx of
jobs and manufacturing that is returning to America, I
have prioritized initiatives for Americans to be
trained for the jobs of the future, not the past. These
are just a few actions among many meant to benefit the
American worker. But the point is simple: The goal of
my Administration is for our American workers and their
children to have better lives. My Administration is
taking action to achieve our goal.

For these reasons, during World Trade Week, we commit
to redoubling our efforts to combat unfair trade
practices for every American, from farmers and
fishermen to entrepreneurs and everyone in between. We
commit to bringing jobs back home and advancing
opportunities for American businesses to compete abroad
through new trade deals like the recent United States-
United Kingdom trade agreement.

As President, I will always place the interests of
America first. Together, we will build a new Golden Age
for America with strong economic growth and America
First trade policies that protect our workers,
strengthen our industries, and unlock the American
Dream for every citizen.

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 May 18 through May
24, 2025, as World Trade Week. Let's celebrate the
benefits of American trade.

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