                Proclamation 10111 of October 30, 2020

                
National Entrepreneurship Month, 2020

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                The United States is home to the most creative, 
                passionate, and talented minds anywhere in the world. 
                Throughout our history, we have pioneered revolutionary 
                innovations, and we continue to reach new heights in 
                business, science, and technology. During National 
                Entrepreneurship Month, we celebrate the determination 
                of those who strike out on their own to fuel our robust 
                economy.

                American entrepreneurs employ more than 60 million 
                people nationwide and strengthen our communities with 
                their hard work and ingenuity. Since taking office, I 
                have cut onerous regulations at a historic rate, saving 
                these businesses nearly $50 billion in compliance 
                costs, unleashing the might of the American economy, 
                and empowering proud American business owners. When the 
                Government removes barriers to success, all Americans 
                benefit. For the first time in decades, deregulation is 
                saving small businesses from wasting precious hours on 
                regulatory compliance and creating a dynamic economic 
                landscape. Our policies have empowered entrepreneurs to 
                do what they do best: innovate, create, and succeed.

                We must continue supporting our Nation's economic 
                success by preparing the next generation of American 
                workers for the jobs of today and tomorrow. That is why 
                I established the President's National Council for the 
                American Worker, which is engaging with companies to 
                invest in and develop programs for workplace education 
                and skills training and retraining. I encourage more 
                entrepreneurs to take the Pledge to America's Workers 
                and join the 450 companies and trade associations that 
                have already committed to providing more than 16 
                million education and training opportunities for 
                American students and workers. Additionally, the United 
                States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, which replaced the 
                outdated and unfair North American Free Trade 
                Agreement, is now in full effect, fulfilling my promise 
                to level the playing field for American businesses and 
                workers. This landmark agreement will help bring our 
                manufacturing jobs back home while ensuring that more 
                American innovators can run their businesses without 
                shipping jobs overseas.

                Our Nation's entrepreneurs have also been at the heart 
                of our ongoing efforts to defeat the coronavirus. 
                Working with private-sector companies, my 
                Administration launched the largest industrial 
                mobilization since World War II. In addition to helping 
                to rapidly expand our Nation's testing capabilities and 
                to produce unparalleled levels of personal protective 
                equipment, many American innovators have been at the 
                forefront of developing safe vaccines and effective 
                therapeutics as quickly as possible. Entrepreneurs, 
                especially small business owners, are key to our 
                surging economy. That is why I pushed for and signed 
                the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security 
                (CARES) Act into law. This landmark legislation 
                provided $2.2 trillion to our great American workers, 
                businesses, and entrepreneurs. Under the CARES Act, the 
                Small Business Administration and the Department of the 
                Treasury approved 5.2 million Paycheck Protection 
                Program loans to help our entrepreneurs across the 
                country navigate the economic difficulties of this 
                pandemic.

                This month, we recognize the bold spirit of America's 
                entrepreneurs who continue to prove that the American 
                dream is alive and more obtainable than ever before. As 
                we continue our great American comeback, we know that 
                these innovative men and women will remain at the 
                forefront of our efforts to create a brighter future 
                for our country.

                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 November 2020 as 
                National Entrepreneurship Month. I call upon all 
                Americans to commemorate this month with appropriate 
                programs and activities and to celebrate November 17, 
                2020, as National Entrepreneurs' Day.

                IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 
                thirtieth 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.)
