More than 430,000 Floridians work in manufacturing, and a few months ago, I wrote an op-ed on how President Trump’s tariffs will incentivize industry to return to the United States. All of this is a direct result of an America first agenda. This Administration’s dedication to strengthening our economy starts with revitalizing American industry—through production, innovation, and manufacturing. Happy National Manufacturing Day!
