October 11, 2026

The Council of Economic Advisers says it reviewed President Trump’s impact on manufacturing during his second term so far. According to the White House, the CEA concluded that the sector “is seeing robust growth with the Trump Administration’s pro-growth policies.” The page says manufacturing jobs are reshoring after the Biden Administration “shipped over 200,000 American jobs overseas in its last two years,” and that factory construction “is soaring” because of tariff policies. It also calls the United States the world’s largest energy exporter and describes “a new renaissance in American steel production.”
