President Trump signed a proclamation on July 20, 2026, declaring July 19 through 25 as “Made in America Week” and calling on Americans to honor the country’s builders and manufacturers.
What the proclamation says
- It cites the executive order signed earlier in 2026 on truthful advertising of products claimed to be “Made in the U.S.A.”
- It notes the President recently directed federal agencies to buy USA-made goods.
- It credits the Working Families Tax Cuts Act’s permanent 20% small business deduction and 100% expensing for factories and equipment.
- The White House says manufacturing added jobs at the close of the first quarter of 2026, the first gain in three years.
Why it matters for Made in USA
Proclamations don’t change the law, but this one ties the week to two concrete policies: stricter enforcement of Made in USA claims and buying preferences in federal procurement. Both affect what companies can label and sell as USA-made. Related: SBA and GSA delist falsely labeled flatware and the FTC’s July warning letters.
