Washington, D.C.
In a significant development this week, Kelly Loeffler, newly appointed Administrator of the Small Business Administration, praised President Donald Trump for implementing a sweeping trade overhaul aimed at revitalizing American industry and protecting jobs.
“In the span of a week, President Trump ended decades of weak trade policy that decimated American jobs, industry, and strength,” Loeffler said in a statement Monday. “For too long, Main Street was forced to play by unfair rules—now, it finally has the level playing field to compete and win.”
Loeffler, a longtime advocate for small business growth and economic empowerment, emphasized the impact of the new trade measures on local entrepreneurs and manufacturers. She affirmed the SBA’s commitment to ensuring America’s small businesses remain at the forefront of the country’s economic resurgence.
The Trump administration’s move marks a sharp pivot from previous trade agreements, aiming to boost domestic production, reduce reliance on foreign supply chains, and restore confidence in American enterprise. Economists and small business leaders are watching closely as the policy shift begins to ripple through the market.
More details are expected in the coming days as the SBA rolls out support programs tailored to help small businesses seize new opportunities under the updated trade framework.
