Looks Forward to Strengthening U.S. Industries and Jobs in Second Term
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Coalition for a Prosperous America (CPA) congratulates President-Elect Donald Trump on his victory and looks forward to working with his administration to deliver on policies that will prioritize American workers, restore economic independence, and protect our national security. With a renewed mandate, a second Trump administration has the opportunity to drive transformative changes in trade, tax, and industrial policy to secure a stronger, more resilient U.S. economy.
As the nation turns a new page, we are entering an era of economic policies that will focus on reshoring production, addressing trade imbalances, and building robust American industries that can stand independent of adversarial powers, particularly China. CPA has long been at the forefront of these issues, advocating for policies that support domestic manufacturing, reduce our economic vulnerability, and restore economic strength to working Americans.
“CPA will be working closely with President-Elect Trump’s team to craft policies that will make a lasting impact on U.S. trade and industrial policy,” said Zach Mottl, Chairman of CPA. “With a commitment to reshoring jobs, implementing strategic tariffs, and securing critical supply chains, the incoming administration has a historic opportunity to rebuild American industry, promote economic independence, and safeguard the prosperity of our workers and communities.”
During his first term, President-Elect Trump implemented landmark trade policies, such as Section 301 tariffs on China, that CPA strongly supported as key steps in addressing China’s predatory trade practices. We look forward to building on these policies in his second term and working with former U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer and other key advisors to implement policies that will keep our economy strong, independent, and resilient.
The next four years offer a critical window for reinforcing America’s manufacturing base, securing supply chains, and reclaiming U.S. economic independence. CPA is committed to continuing its role as a trusted advisor and key partner to the incoming administration, advocating for policies that prioritize American workers, manufacturers, and communities.
“The globalist free trade era was a bipartisan mistake, costing American jobs and hollowing out U.S. industry—a reality now recognized across the political spectrum,” said Michael Stumo, CEO of CPA. “For years, many Democrats opposed those misguided trade policies, and the Biden administration recently acknowledged the end of the globalist era. While Democrats may be disappointed by this election outcome, we are eager to collaborate with leaders from both parties to build a new bipartisan consensus around American economic patriotism. Together, we can forge a future that prioritizes U.S. workers, strengthens our industries, and secures our nation’s prosperity and resilience.”
