                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.
                
                
                    (Presidential Sig.)
