Trump promised construction unions that he would revive the American construction industry. He spoke at an annual gathering in Washington D.C. of the North America’s Building Trades Unions.
He highlighted the excessive regulations and permits needed to get a construction project underway, and said we will minimize this. He said that the 10 years it often takes to get the necessary permits is much too long.
Trump highlighted this among his overall plans for economic development.
“We believe in two simple rules: Buy American and hire American. That’s what it’s going to be. And that’s not just a slogan it’s a promise, believe me. It’s a promise. The era of economic surrender has come to an end. It’s come to an end. We have surrendered as a country to outside interests. The era of economic victory for our country has just begun. You will see.”
