National Manufacturing Day, 2026

BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

For 250 years, American workers have been the driving force behind our Nation’s strength, prosperity, and industrial might.  Their skill, ingenuity, and determination have fueled our economy and carried American manufacturing to new heights.  On National Manufacturing Day, we honor the men and women who make, build, and create in America — and we celebrate the extraordinary comeback of American manufacturing.

As President, my highest priority has been putting America First by restoring our Nation’s manufacturing and bringing back good-paying American jobs.  I have imposed powerful tariffs to protect American workers and businesses from unfair trade practices, and as a result, we are seeing the greatest reshoring of American manufacturing in our Nation’s history, alongside a surge in demand for products Made in America.  Since I returned to office, I have secured more than $11.2 trillion in United States and foreign investments across manufacturing, critical infrastructure, and technology sectors.  Groundbreakings of new factories are surging with 112,000 new factory construction workers building since I returned to office.  The factory construction jobs of today mean more good-paying manufacturing jobs for decades to come.  These investments fuel job growth, innovation, and opportunity across every corner of our country.
