As part of his overall job creation agenda, President Donald Trump will launch the Manufacturing Jobs Initiative. The president will be meeting with some of the world's most successful and creative business leaders to hear about their experiences and gain their insights. President Trump plans to seek information and perspectives from a range of business leaders on how to promote job growth and get Americans back to work.
The first series of meetings were organized by Andrew Liveris, chairman and CEO of the Dow Chemical Company. The president has expressed his appreciation to Liveris for his efforts in this regard. Liveris believes the initiative will create more U.S. manufacturing jobs.
