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
[[Page 19610]]
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.
