                Proclamation 10932 of May 5, 2025

                
National Small Business Week, 2025

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                Small businesses power our economy from the ground up, 
                driving innovation and building products that keep 
                America strong, competitive, and secure. During 
                National Small Business Week, we celebrate the 
                unyielding spirit, creativity, and perseverance of our 
                hardworking entrepreneurs who dare to dream big.

                Small businesses are vital to our economy. America has 
                33 million small businesses that employ 61.7 million 
                Americans--nearly half of the private-sector 
                workforce--and create almost two out of every three new 
                jobs in the country.

                In recent years, small business owners have faced 
                unprecedented challenges--record high inflation, 
                reckless Federal spending, and burdensome regulations--
                yet have remained committed to delivering for America's 
                communities.

                Small businesses across the country have also carried 
                the burden of a broken global trade system for far too 
                long. Originally designed after World War II to support 
                recovery in war-torn nations, it is now exploited by 
                foreign competitors. They flood our markets with cheap 
                goods while shutting out quality American products.

                Too many in our Government were afraid to tackle this 
                problem. Now, at last, my Administration is fixing it. 
                On Liberation Day, we implemented targeted tariffs to 
                protect American businesses from unfair trade practices 
                and to strengthen local supply chains. We are putting 
                American people first and delivering long-overdue 
                relief for our workers and entrepreneurs.

                My Administration is unleashing a new era of 
                opportunity for small businesses built on common sense 
                and pro-growth policies that put our workers and our 
                job creators first. We are cutting red tape, keeping 
                taxes low, promoting fair and reciprocal trade 
                practices, and fighting for hardworking Americans.

                The Made in America Manufacturing Initiative is 
                creating good-paying jobs and securing our supply 
                chains, while cutting $100 billion in regulations that 
                disproportionately burden small businesses and 
                manufacturers. Free from crippling compliance and 
                regulatory hurdles, we are empowering our businesses to 
                focus on what they do best: business.

                Entrepreneurship is the foundation of a free and 
                prosperous Nation and the engine of the American 
                economy--built by men and women who work hard, take 
                risks, and believe in the power of the American Dream. 
                From our fields to our factories to the frontiers of 
                technology, our small businesses embody the American 
                spirit, driving growth and creating new employment 
                opportunities. Our history of ingenuity and grit is 
                unrivaled, and by renewing our support of small 
                businesses, we are raising wages, strengthening 
                American families, and leading our country and the 
                world into a new Golden Age.

                NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the 
                United States of America, by virtue of the authority 
                vested in me by the Constitution

                and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim 
                May 4 through May 10, 2025, as National Small Business 
                Week. I call upon all Americans to recognize the 
                critical contributions of America's entrepreneurs and 
                small business owners as they grow our Nation's 
                economy.

                IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 
                fifth day of May, in the year of our Lord two thousand 
                twenty-five, and of the Independence of the United 
                States of America the two hundred and forty-ninth.
                
                
                    (Presidential Sig.)
