White House spokeswoman Taylor Rogers added, “President Trump believes that American workers are the heart and soul of our economy, which is why he’s championed an agenda that always puts them first — from signing the largest middle-class tax cuts in history to securing nearly $10 trillion in new investments to create high-paying jobs across our country. Under President Trump’s leadership, Republicans are once again the proud party of the American worker.”

The White House then listed a number of policies that had been designed to put American workers first and how they had already been implemented to make that happen.

“President Trump has already created half a million new jobs, with native-born workers accounting for ALL net jobs gains,” the statement said, adding “Hourly wages have risen, prices have come down and are holding steady, and consumer confidence is growing.”

In addition, the registration of nearly 2,000 new apprenticeship programs had opened doors for hundreds of thousands of American workers to learn new skills or improve upon those they had already learned — and the Trump administration has a stated goal of one million active apprenticeships in the near future. The Labor Department has also made it a priority to expand apprenticeship programs that are accessible to disabled veterans.

The Trump administration also touted the recent passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill and the removal of a number of regulations and small-business penalties, adding, “The Labor Department released 63 deregulatory actions to cut burdens, spur job creation, and fuel economic opportunity for American workers and businesses.”

As a final note, the White House said that new guidance had been laid out to make sure that “illegal immigrants are not allowed access to federal workforce development resources and related grants, protecting job training for American workers.”

The White House statement concluded by saying that the nearly $10 trillion in investments are “a direct result of President Trump remaking the global trading order and putting America First.”
