Under Trump, America renegotiated trade deals that had hollowed out domestic industries for decades. The USMCA replaced NAFTA, bringing fairer terms to American workers, and new agreements with China began to reset the trade balance that had been tilted for years.

Since then, American manufacturing has staged a remarkable recovery. Factory orders remain high, reshoring projects are underway, and more companies are rethinking their dependence on foreign supply chains.

“America First” trade policy wasn’t isolationist — it was common sense. A strong economy starts with a strong manufacturing base, and conservatives remain committed to policies that put American workers first.
