Trump Tariffs Boost American Manufacturers

Rapid Response

President Trump's strong tariffs are putting American businesses and workers fist — and the President's bold policy agenda is already paying off. A new report describes the "surge in demand" that American manufacturers are seeing as these tariffs drive investment back to the United States.   

  • Jergens, a midwestern toolmaker with less than 500 employees, says it’s “going like gangbusters” trying to keep up with demand. They are seeing an influx of orders from customers trying to avoid import tariffs along with steady defense-related demand.   
  • Grand River Rubber & Plastics, a plastics and rubber manufacturer in Ohio, says customers that once offshored to China are reversing course. Two buyers who left years ago returned within days of each other and two new oil filter manufacturers have already placed orders. The company’s new business could amount to $5 million annually, roughly 10% of Grand River’s revenue.           

This comes on the heels of another excellent jobs report, with President Trump beating expectations for the second month in a row and  bringing TRILLIONS in investment back to the U.S.

Thanks to President Trump, America's Golden Age is kicking into high gear!
