Our manufacturing sector stimulates advances in both basic and practical sciences, and manufacturing is consistently identified as a leading multiplier for economic output and employment.

Trump is reaching for a more drastic trade war weapon, with new threats to shut foreign goods out of the U.S. altogether. Why it matters: It would mark a significant evolution of the administration's trade agenda, with potentially bigger economic fallout than the tariffs that have defined it so far.

President Trump's economic officials acknowledge that a strong economy alone will not persuade Americans that they are better off under this president. Why it matters: The administration is trying to avoid what it sees as a Biden-era mistake: touting strong economic data while Americans are still reeling from a historic run-up in prices to which Trump's policies have contributed.
