Trump’s Senior Counselor to the President for Trade and Manufacturing Peter Navarro will hold a White House press briefing this afternoon on American manufacturing.
Navarro will speak about “the Trump Administration’s efforts to rebuild domestic industry, bring jobs back to the United States and strengthen the American manufacturing sector,” according to a White House press release.
“President Trump is restoring American dominance, supporting American workers, and ushering in the Golden Age of economic prosperity,” the release continues.
