Calling American manufacturers “the beating heart of our national life,” Pence thanked them on behalf of the president for “the corporate citizenship” that they display every day and have “woven into the very fabric of American life.”

“But we want you to do even more. President Trump has promised, in his words, to ‘set the stage for a great revival’ for our factories, to be back to ‘Buy American and Hire American’ again,” Pence said, recounting all the “red tape” and stifling regulations Trump has done away with through his executive orders during his first few months in office.

“Because since day one of this administration, President Donald Trump has been fighting for manufacturers and the men and women who work on your factory floors, and he’ll keep fighting every day to lead an American manufacturing renaissance. I promise you that,” he said. “Our nation will have the manufacturing infrastructure we need to provide good-paying jobs to promote our prosperity, but also to protect our nation and to ensure a safe and prosperous future for ourselves and our posterity.”[lz_pagination]
