A Bold New Move To Prime US Business Pump!

American manufacturing is at the heart of our battle against the Coronavirus. Companies across the country have heeded President Trump’s call and repurposed entire factories to make personal protective equipment and other needed supplies.

Honeywell is one such business with an incredible story to tell. Today, President Trump saw firsthand how the company transformed an aerospace facility in Arizona—one that designed and manufactured aircraft propulsion engines and auxiliary power units—into a nimble face-mask production line.

As a result, Honeywell is expected to produce more than 20 million N95 masks per month. This expanded operation has allowed the firm to begin hiring 500 additional workers at its Phoenix facility, creating jobs during a tough time for many Americans.

🎬 President Trump: “You make America proud!”

America’s private sector, the best on Earth, is too valuable to leave on the sidelines during this global pandemic. Rather than rely on government alone, President Trump has led the largest mobilization of both public and private sectors since World War II, using every resource available to stop this invisible enemy.

That mobilization includes leveraging the Defense Production Act to secure massive amounts of needed supplies. In one agreement alone, 3M agreed to produce 166.5 million masks in just 3 months. The Administration is also procuring 100,000 ventilators in 100 days—three times more than the country normally makes in a year.

“The people of our country are warriors,” President Trump said.

Watch: Honeywell did a 9-month job in less than 5 weeks!

Historic support for our Native American communities


President Trump’s first stop in Arizona was a roundtable discussion on support for Native Americans during this difficult time. Meeting with local and tribal leaders, the President said that no community will be left behind as we unite against this virus.

🎬 President Trump: We will do everything possible to support Native Americans!

The CARES Act, signed by President Trump in March, authorizes $8 billion to support tribal governments with response and recovery needs. Today, the Trump Administration announced that it is disbursing the first $4.8 billion batch of those funds, which make for the largest investment in a single program for Indian Country in our history.

President Trump is uniquely committed to supporting the wellbeing of our American Indian and Alaska Native communities. Last year, he signed the first-ever presidential proclamation recognizing the grave issue of missing and murdered Native Americans.
