President Trump visited a factory in Kenosha, Wis., on April 18, to promote his "Buy American, Hire American" executive order. The order is a first effort to promote a “Buy American, Hire American” agenda, a key promise Trump made during the campaign. Both changes are aimed at discouraging the use of foreign labor, which the administration says displaces American workers and reduces wages. While Trump made buying American made products and hiring American workers a theme of his campaign, his business practices often contradicted his political rhetoric. He called the delays “ridiculous” and promised to fight for a fairer deal for American workers and companies.
