President Trump, on Thursday, held a result oriented meeting with the 24 CEOs of various high-end companies in the State Dining Room at Oval Office to do some discussions and pondering over American manufacturing. The cabinet members also joined him. He told the executives that he will bring home “many million of jobs” and would also address the $60 billion trade deficit with Mexico. He also told them about Secretary of State Rex Tillerson’s “rough trip” to Mexico.
After a brief discussion they split in a series of four sessions put up by administration officials; tax, trade, regulatory reform, infrastructure and the work force of the future.
“The U.S. economy lost 6 million manufacturing jobs from 2000 to 2010, roughly one-third of its total, in part due to offshoring, but the sector has added 900,000 jobs since then,” Reuters reported, citing the US Bureau of Labor Statistics.
