WASHINGTON DC – National Foreign Trade Council (NFTC) President Jake Colvin today issued a statement following the inauguration of Donald Trump as the 47th President of the United States:
“Congratulations to President Trump and Vice President Vance on their inauguration. This Administration is in a unique position to enhance the global competitiveness of U.S. businesses and workers and we are eager to play a role in attaining that shared objective.
“We look forward to partnering with the Trump Administration and Congress on a positive and proactive agenda that expands opportunities for U.S. companies abroad, fosters pro-growth tax policies, and advances America’s global technology leadership while promoting resilient supply chains that power the economy. American companies need to maintain a competitive advantage globally, and access to open markets, in order to advance national security objectives and expand employment, investment, and production in the United States.
