The Trump administration began the week by touting a series of economic and policy achievements, ranging from a resurgence in domestic manufacturing to record declines in illegal border crossings. Honda and Clarios are among the latest companies expanding U.S. operations, aligning with President Trump’s “Made in America” push. Meanwhile, Apple and Eli Lilly have pledged a combined $527 billion in new domestic investments. On immigration, the White House reported a 94% year-over-year drop in illegal crossings in February, citing increased enforcement and stricter border policies. Additionally, the Treasury Department’s suspension of Biden-era Beneficial Ownership reporting requirements was framed as a regulatory relief win for small businesses, a move the administration says will reduce costs and boost productivity.
Monday Morning Wins: Call It the “Trump Effect”
There is no better way to start the week than by celebrating more big wins for Americans under the leadership of President Donald J. Trump.
- American manufacturing surges amid President Trump’s tariffs: Automaker Honda is expected to produce its next-generation Civic hybrid model in Indiana, while Wisconsin-based Clarios, a leader in low-voltage energy storage, announced a $6 billion plan to expand its U.S.-based manufacturing.
- They’re only the latest major companies to announce such a move in alignment with President Trump’s Made in America agenda. Last week, Apple announced an historic $500 billion investment that will create 20,000 new U.S.-based jobs, while drug maker Eli Lilly announced a $27 billion investment in its U.S.-based manufacturing — bringing the total number of investments secured in President Trump’s second term to nearly $2 billion.
- Border security drives results: President Trump announced illegal border crossings in February — his first full month in office — were the lowest ever recorded, down 94% from last February and down 96% from the all-time high of the Biden Administration.
- A victory for small businesses: The U.S. Department of the Treasury suspended enforcement of Biden-era Beneficial Ownership Information reporting requirements for U.S. citizens — a big win for small businesses faced with burdensome reporting requirements that increased costs and lowered productivity.
