“Trump pushes 'Buy American, Hire American' policy”

Kenosha, Wisconsin - President Donald Trump signed an executive order Tuesday directing federal agencies to implement the "Buy American, Hire American" idea of his campaign. "The buy and hire American order I'm about to sign will protect workers and students like you," Trump told a crowd of technical students and manufacturing employees at the headquarters of Snap-On Tools, a Wisconsin-based manufacturer. "It's America first, you better believe it.” The order, which Trump signed after delivering his remarks, looks to bolster protections for certain American-made goods. Trump said the order would "aggressively promote and use American-made goods and to ensure that American labor is hired to do the job.” The executive order, though, does not take direct action to fundamentally change either portion, instead initiating a series of reviews and assessments and calling on federal departments to begin proposing reforms to the programs. The order would send a clear signal to federal agencies responsible for enforcing the programs that the administration wants to see a more aggressive stance.
