President Donald Trump signed an executive order Tuesday directing federal agencies to implement the "Buy American, Hire American" rhetoric of his campaign, CNN reports.
"The buy and hire American order I'm about to sign will protect workers and students like you. It's America first, you better believe it. It's time. It's time, right?" Trump told a crowd of technical students and manufacturing employees at the headquarters of Snap-On Tools, a Wisconsin-based manufacturer.
According to the administration official sources, the order, which Trump signed after delivering his remarks, looks to bolster protections for certain American-made goods and calls for a review of the H-1B visa program for skilled workers, with the goal of reforming the program.
