A resurgence that’s defying the critics
When
President Trump took office, 1.5 million fewer prime-age
Americans were working than eight years earlier. Almost 200,000
manufacturing jobs had been lost under the previous
administration. The left’s response to President Trump’s call
to “Build American” was clear: Manufacturing jobs are
obsolete. They’re not coming back.
As
for a growing economy, former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers
spoke for many Democrats when he said that 3 percent annual growth
was “fair enough if you believe in tooth-fairies.”
Flash-forward
to Friday. “I am thrilled to announce that, in the second
quarter of this year, the United States economy grew at the
amazing rate of 4.1 percent,” the
President announced from the South Lawn. Real GDP is on track
for better than 3 percent growth for the first time since 2005.
To
put that in perspective, during the entire period from 2001 to
2016, the annualized rate of real GDP growth in the first half of
the year averaged just 1.9 percent. For every percentage point we
go up, the result is roughly $3 trillion and 10 million jobs.

Strengthening American bonds with Europe
Italy
is an important ally: a member of NATO, a crucial partner
in Afghanistan and Iraq, and a key part of bringing stability to
the Mediterranean. Today, President Trump and Italian Prime
Minister Conte will meet in Washington, looking to deepen
cooperation and promote economic prosperity on both sides of
the Atlantic.
Today’s
meeting comes on the heels of last week’s major announcement
on European trade. Alongside European Commission President
Jean-Claude Juncker, President Trump outlined the four principles
both sides have agreed will mark a new era in U.S.–European
trade:
1. Working toward zero
tariffs, zero non-tariff barriers, and zero subsidies on
non-automotive industrial goods
2. Making it easier for
the European Union to purchase liquefied natural gas
3. Reducing trade and
bureaucratic obstacles slash trade costs dramatically
4. Joining forces to
address unfair trade practices, e.g. intellectual property theft
