Proclamation 9768 of July 13, 2018 

Made in America Day and Made in America Week, 2018 

By the President of the United States of America 

A Proclamation 

On Made in America Day and during Made in America Week, we celebrate 

the importance of American manufacturing, construction, agriculture, mining, 

and entrepreneurship to our Nation’s prosperity and economic vitality. Made 

in America products represent the global gold standard for quality, innovation, and craftsmanship and the output of a highly skilled workforce that 

is second to none. 

American workers and job creators sustain and inspire the American Dream, 

while enhancing both our economic and national security, which are inextricably linked. 

For far too long, the working men and women of our country have been 

ignored. That era is over. 

Last year, I signed into law historic tax cuts and reform, which have unleashed a flow of investment and jobs back into America from overseas. 

Optimism among American manufacturers has hit all-time highs as American 

businesses across the country have paid bonuses, increased wages, and 

boosted contributions to employee retirement plans. 

My Administration is also delivering on its promise to cut unnecessary 

and burdensome regulations that hamper economic growth. 

I have consistently pledged to the American people that I will reinvigorate 

our workforce by instituting fair and reciprocal trade practices so that companies can compete, thrive, and grow. My trade agenda is focused on defending 

our workers and businesses from unfair trade practices and on removing 

barriers to our products and services, so that our Nation can compete and 

so that ‘‘buy American and hire American’’ once again becomes the best 

option in an increasingly international and competitive market. Accordingly, 

I will continue to negotiate and modernize our trade agreements to bring 

about free, fair, and reciprocal trade and thereby ensure open, fair, and 

competitive markets for America’s products and services. 

Our Nation continues to thrive due to the determination, imagination, skill, 

creativity, and excellence of our people. American industry reflects these 

qualities and evokes patriotism, pride, and the hope of a bright and prosperous future. We salute our Nation’s workers, job creators, and inventors, 

and we pledge to continue creating an environment that makes the United 

States the most attractive place in the world to do business. 

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 July 17, 2018, as 

Made in America Day and this week, July 15 through July 21, 2018, as 

Made in America Week. I call upon all Americans to pay special tribute 

to the builders, the ranchers, the crafters, the entrepreneurs, and all those 

who work with their hands every day to make America great.
