Since the election of President Trump, the U.S. has added 6.4 million jobs, including 500,000 in the #manufacturing sector alone & 136,000 new jobs in the month of September. Income & wages are up & poverty is at the lowest level in almost two decades. nitter.app/CommerceGov/status/118… …

As President Trump said this week, “our relationship with Pakistan is a very good one.” I look forward to meeting with Pakistan’s Prime Minister @ImranKhanPTI in Islamabad today on ways to boost trade and investment between the U.S. and Pakistan.
Under President @RealDonaldTrump, the Great American Comeback continues. More encouraging economic news from today’s #JobsReport shows an additional 638,000 Americans entered the labor force in October and the unemployment rate declined to 6.9%.
The @realDonaldTrump Administration has worked since day one to remove trade barriers & open new markets for U.S. firms. When the President’s #USMCA went into effect this year, it immediately leveled the playing field for American companies doing business w/Mexico & Canada.
Tax cuts, deregulation, and an Administration dedicated to growing business have allowed the U.S. economy to flourish. The resulting surge in job creation and record low unemployment has put the American worker in the driver’s seat.
Thank you @realDonaldTrump and @IvankaTrump for your commitment to increasing economic opportunity for women. I look forward to utilizing the Department’s resources to help ensure women in developing countries have the tools they need for greater economic participation. #WGDP
Today, the U.S. is suspending regulations affording preferential treatment to Hong Kong over China. The @realDonaldTrump Administration urges Beijing to immediately reverse course & fulfill the promises it has made to the people of Hong Kong & the world. commerce.gov/news/press-rele…
Thank you Prime Minister @ImranKhanPTI, and to your government, for your hospitality. The work Pakistan has begun to do to fight terrorism & promote security is affording the U.S. and Pakistan the opportunity to strengthen & expand trade in the region & between our countries.
Despite the economic impacts we’ve felt coast to coast as a result of the #COVID19, growth is returning. Since May 11.4M new jobs have been added to the U.S. economy, the fastest recovery in history. @POTUS is keeping his promise to put American workers & families first.
A big part of @realDonaldTrump's economic growth strategy is rebalancing trade. We are doing this by negotiating trade agreements that benefit American producers and their workers. The new #USMCA is the largest trade deal in American history.

I was honored to join @IvankaTrump in hearing from the board on their progress on workforce development. This issue remains a top priority for @POTUS and this Administration, and we must continue to connect displaced workers to upskilling and reskilling pathways.
The future of work that the American Workforce Policy Advisory Board has long been discussing is no longer on the horizon—it is here & now.
Yesterday we learned about exciting, new & innovative platforms the private sector has created to upskill & reskill our Nation’s workforce!

American companies have a total stock of FDI in Brazil of an impressive $71 billion. I am pleased to see that reducing corruption is a priority. If this issue can be resolved, the amount of investment between our countries would grow dramatically.
This is positive news as Taiwan is a key trade and investment partner of the U.S., as demonstrated by TSMC’s May announcement to invest $12B in a semiconductor facility in AZ. Removing these trade barriers opens the door for even more opportunities in our bilateral relationship.
The U.S. welcomes President Tsai Ing-Wen’s August 28 statement that Taiwan will move quickly to lift restrictions on imports of U.S. pork and beef. This move opens the door for even deeper economic and trade cooperation. Kudos to President Tsai for her leadership.
