Trump: Our new workers’ council, partnered with companies like Walmart, will help create nearly 4 million jobs
“Trump signed an executive order Thursday creating the National Council for the American Worker, intended to beef up training and education for American workers. Walmart, Home Depot, General Motors, and Microsoft are among the companies and associations Thursday that signed a pledge, committing to create job opportunities over the next five years. Walmart alone said it would commit to training 1 million people. Trump campaigned on promises to restore American jobs. As president, he has threatened to punish companies who move jobs overseas and enacted steep tariffs on steel and aluminum imports that he said are protecting American companies and their workers.”
