Trillions of dollars of capital investment are pouring into America, led by President Trump and the Department of Commerce. Over the past few months alone, the Department of Commerce has announced multiple $15 billion, record-setting critical energy investments across the country, from Pennsylvania and Georgia to Texas and Tennessee, that will accelerate economic growth, ensure U.S. energy dominance, bolster critical supply chains, and strengthen U.S. national and economic security.

Secretary Howard Lutnick spoke to @BISgov employees today about their vital work supporting Trump’s America First Trade Policy, which boosts U.S. industry, secures supply chains, and protects American tech from foreign exploitation. BIS enforces export controls, closes loopholes, and keeps innovation domestic, driving thriving industries and national security.

Today, I held a town hall for the Bureau of Industry and Security. Trade and American innovation are a key priority for this administration, and protecting our tech from foreign exploitation is fundamental. BIS ensures our technology stays protected and serves the American people—not our adversaries. As we expand American trade under President Trump’s America First agenda, BIS is the critical partner in making sure that growth never comes at the cost of security.
