Sweeping across our country, and even greater than that great day in november when i won the state of wisconsin and when we won the presidency. That was a great day. That was a great day. Thank you, wisconsin. No administration has accomplished more in the first 90 days, that includes on military, on the border, on trade, on regulation, on Law Enforcement we love our Law Enforcement. And on government reform. Today, we are building on that optimism and i am proud to announce we are about to take bold new steps to follow through on my pledge to buy american and hire american. [applause] i cant think of a better place to make this announcement then right here at snapon. I just took a tour of the company. Good place, by the way. Doing well, too. Standing among the workers that make the tools that will rebuild our nation. Your craftsmanship is incredible. It is a pleasure to see my good friend, Governor Scott walker, he has been such a big help. Stand up, scott. Governor walker. [applause] as well as senator ron johnson. We worked hard together. Thank you, ron. And although he could not be here today, my thanks go to speaker ryan who has represented the city for nearly two decades in congress. You know where he is . He is at nato, so he has a good excuse. I said make sure these countries start paying their bills a little bit more. They are way, way behind. Im going to talk to you about that, ron, but paul, you are at nato. Get them to pay their bills. Ron, you have to work on that and scott, you are here in wisconsin, you dont have to bother. We will keep you here. For a little while, at least. Also with this is a famous local resident, reince priebus, my chief of staff. [applause] what a good man. There he is. [applause] we flew over his house. He was so excited, taking pictures of it. He went to school right here about a mile away where he took his wife, sally, to the prom. That was a match made in heaven. I want to thank treasury secretary Steve Mnuchin for being with us today. Hes working to put together a tax reform plan to make our industry more competitive and also to provide a level Playing Field for our workers. We dont have a level laying field. Believe me. You are going to have one very soon. Our tax plan is going to be out soon. We are working on health care and we are going to get that done. Our education secretary, betsy devos is also here. Stand up. Thank you, betsy. [applause] secretary devos is working to make sure our workers are trained for the skilled, technical jobs that will, in the future, power our country. I am excited to be joined by students from Gateway Technical College and remember, the College President , ryan albrecht. Thank you. Great job. [applause] thank you very much. Your partnership with snapon is a great idea of why Vocational Education is the way of the future. We had vocational schools that were great in queens. We dont have schools like that so much anymore but we are bringing them back. These are very talented people that love that type of work. It really is great work. Vocational schools are going to be a great factor in the trump administration. Together, we are going to do everything in our power to make sure more on x are stamped make sure more of our products are stamped made in the usa. [applause] the old days, we used to start using it again. For too long, we have watched as our factories have been closed and our jobs have been sent to other faraway lands. We lost 70,000 factories since china joined the world trade organization. 70,000. The world trade organization, another one of our disasters. This election, the American People voted to end the theft of american prosperity. They voted to bring back there jobs and bring back their dreams into our country. That is why im here today. In a few moments, i will be signing a high american and hire american executive order. You havent heard about that in a long time in this country. With this action, we are sending a powerful signal to the world. We are going to defend our workers, protect our jobs, and finally put america first. [applause] i see all the make America Great again hats. Its a good crowd. Those are good hats. Throughout the years, snap on tools have been at the center of our industrial life. Your tools have fixed the cars our families depend on. They have sailed with the fleets that patrol the oceans. They fixed the planes that cross our skies and snapon tools have reached the heights of space, used by astronauts in orbit to carry out their very important work. I dont know if you noticed, recently i signed a very big order to spend again on nasa space program. That is something we need and we also needed psychologically, but it is going to be exciting. [applause] for decades, this company has served the needs of American Workers. Its time we had a federal government that does the same. The buy and hire american order i am about to sign will help protect workers and students like those of you in the audience today this historic action declares the order is to aggressively promote and use americanmade goods and to ensure American Labor is hired to do the job. America first. You Better Believe it. [applause] time. Time. [applause] first we will fully monitor, uphold and enforce our buy american laws. Buy american laws require that when the federal government buys bills or funds a project, domestic goods and products should be used. But over the years these have been gutted by excessive waivers and reckless exemptions. The result has been countless jobs and countless contracts that have been lost to cheap, subsidized and lowquality foreign goods. With this order im directing everything Single Agency in our government to strictly uphold our buy american laws. To minimize the use of waivers, and to maximize made in america content in all federal projects. [applause] its time. And for the First Time Ever were going to crack down on foreign bidders who use dumped steel and other subsidized goods to take contracts from workers like you. They take them away. And theyve been doing it for a long time. It is not going to happen anymore. [applause] we finally standing up for our workers and for our companies. In short, this order declares that american projects should be made with american goods. No longer are we going to allow Foreign Countries to cheat our producers and our workers out of federal contracts. Everyone in my administration will be expected to enforce every last buy american provision on behalf of the American Worker and we are going to investigate every single trade deal that undermines these provisions. Secondly, we are going to enforce the hire american rules that are designed to protect wages and jobs of the workers in the United States. We believe jobs must be offered to American Workers first. Does that make sense . [applause] right now, widespread abuse in our immigration system is allowing American Workers of all backgrounds to be replaced by workers brought in from other countries to fill the same jobs for, sometimes, less pay. This will stop. American workers have long called for reforms to end these visa abuses. Today, there calls are being answered for the first time. That includes taking the first steps to set in motion a longoverdue reform of h1b visas. Right now h1b are awarded in a random lottery. That is wrong. Instead, they should begin given to the most skilled and highestpaid applicants. They should never, ever be used to replace americans. No one can compete with American Workers when they are given a fair and level Playing Field, which has not happened for decades. We using every tool at our disposal to restore the American Dream. When it comes to wasteful, job killing applications, we are going to use a tool you all know very well. Its called the sledgehammer. Its what we are gonna use. Were also going to stand up for our Dairy Farmers in wisconsin. [applause] and i have been reading about it. I have been talking about it for long time. That demands, really, immediately, fair trade with all of our trading partners. And that includes canada. [applause] because in canada, some very unfair things have happened to our Dairy Farmers, and others, and were going to start working on that with ron and scott and paul, all of your representatives. What is happened to you is very, very unfair. Its another typical onesided deal against United States and it is not going to be happening for long. Scott, you and everyone else, were gonna get together and call canada and say, what happened . They might give us an answer, but were going to get a solution, not just an answer, he goes know what the solution is, all right . [applause] if you guys cant do it, maybe reince. We better bring reince back. Were gonna work on it starting today. Its a terrible thing that happened to be farmers of wisconsin. The fact is nafta has been a disaster for the United States. A complete and total disaster. And we are gonna do some things. We have all sorts of rules and regulations that are around us. That are horrendous. You want to start to negotiate with mexico immediately. We have provisions we have to wait long periods of time. You have to notify congress. After you notify congress you have to get certified, then you cant speak to them for 100 days. The whole thing is ridiculous. Nafta has been very, very bad for our country. Very, very bad for our companies and our workers. Were going to make some very big changes or we are going to get rid of nafta for once and for all. It cannot continue like this, believe me. [applause] big things will be happening on trade with other countries over the coming months. And i mean very big. We are also working with congress on tax reform and supplication. We are on time, if we get that health care Approval Press every one of your congressmen. Press everybody, because we want to get that approval. It just makes the tax reform easier and it makes it better. Its going to be steeper, it is going to be bigger. Thats what we want to do. We are in very good shape for tax reform. We have the concept of the plan. Were going to be announcing it soon. But health care, we have to get the health care taken care. As soon as we take care of health care were going to march very quickly. Watch, we are going to surprise you. Right, Steve Mnuchin . Secretary of treasury. [applause] stand up, sean. Stand up. I had no idea. He has been so great to me. I was told a year ago, hes like a World Champion climber. Climbs trees. After that every time i look at them differently. I am very impressed by that. Hes also very good on television and very helpful. Thank you. Thank you. We will be making Big Investments in rebuilding our military and repairing are badly depleted infrastructure. That will happen soon, also. Infrastructure. Big infrastructure bill. Probably use it with Something Else that is harder to get approved in order to get that approved. But infrastructure is coming and it is coming fast. The ships, bridges, tunnels and airplanes will be constructed with american hands, American Steel and yes, american tools. [applause] as we work to restore the American Dream at home, we are also working to restore americas standing abroad. That means a strengthening our partnerships and ensuring that our friends and allies pay their fair share, and that very much includes, as i have already said in my statement to paul, it also includes the nato companies and countries. They are letting us down in that one respect. We dont want people taking advantage of the United States and that is not going to happen much longer. Im going over there soon and everyone is what you pay and were going to be a much happier country and a much happier world. No matter the circumstances, everyone will know from this core conviction that americas strength must be unmatched. And its first priority, unquestioned. The safety and security of our citizens. This is the surest path to a more peaceful and prosperous world for us all. Together, we can build a Better Future in the spirit of this companys earliest days. Great company, great history. I recently learned that decades ago in the 1920s, when your salesman entered a dusty repair shop, or a gorgeous stained garage floor, he would find a spot to lay out a beautiful green felt mat. The people of the company know what that means. And on that mat he would place a gleaming set of new snap on tools. The founders of this company wanted their customers to note that the tools of the mechanic were just as important as the tools of the doctor, dentist, the politician, or the business leader. And that his craft was a noble, noble craft. As noble as any. This is a wonderful story about your company, and it is wisconsin heritage. And wisconsin has a truly great heritage, and it is led by incredible people. But it is also a story that tells us a lot about the american spirit. In america, we honor work. We honor grit. We honor craftsmanship. We honor the men and women who turned dreams into reality with her own two hands. In america, we honor all of you. We are a nation of builders. We are the country that dug out the panama canal. That put a man on the face of the moon. And that linked our cities with majestic railroads and curving highways. We are the country that is always on the cusp of the next invention. But we can only get there with all of you. We can only restore this nation we love so much by working and building with all of you. We can only get there together. We are the one people sharing one destiny, saluting one great beautiful american flag. Im thrilled to be here today to celebrate our Great American heritage and to proudly embrace our Great American future. I want to thank the people of wisconsin for doing so much for me, thats why i came back here. Not just for the company, frankly, but for the people of wisconsin. You have been so incredible to me and my administration. We will never, ever let you down. God bless you. God bless the American Worker. God bless the American Dream. And god bless the United States of america. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you very much. [applause] get ready, everybody. Get ready. Everybody, come on up. Come on up here. I think one of them should get it. Come on up, fellas. Great representatives. Come on up. Ok. This is a tremendous honor for me. The only question is, who gets the pen .
