Joined by members of his cabinet and several of his top aides, Trump told the executives that he would bring "many millions" of jobs back to the United States and said that he would be addressing the $60 billion trade deficit with Mexico. He said that Secretary of State Rex Tillerson is on a "tough trip" in Mexico.
After the group discussion, attendees split into four breakout sessions run by administration officials: tax and trade, regulatory reform, infrastructure, and the workforce of the future.
"The U.S. economy lost 6 million manufacturing jobs from 2000 to 2010, roughly one-third of its total, in part due to offshoring, but the sector has added 900,000 jobs since then," Reuters reported, citing the US Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Trump has held several meetings with corporate executives in his first weeks as president, and Thursday's included recurring guests like Ford CEO Mark Fields, Lockheed Martin CEO Marillyn Hewson, and Dow Chemical CEO Andrew Liveris. The manufacturing council was announced late last month, and was assembled with the help of Liveris.
