    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    the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, which replaced the outdated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.
    DONALD J. TRUMP
