During National Small Business Week, President Donald J. Trump issued a proclamation celebrating the nation's 36 million small businesses as the "cornerstone of our prosperity." The President detailed a series of legislative and regulatory victories designed to fuel what he termed a "New Golden Age for American enterprise."

Key highlights from the proclamation include:

The President noted that small businesses currently employ more than 45 percent of the American workforce. Spanning from family farms to tech startups, these 36 million entities are credited with fortifying the strongest workforce in history and anchoring local economies across all 50 states.

President Trump highlighted the One Big Beautiful Bill as the primary driver of the current small business boom. Significant features include:

• • Permanent Tax Deductions: The administration made the 20 percent small business tax deduction permanent, allowing owners to keep more of their qualified business income.

  • Incentivizing Growth: The bill increased tax deductions for new equipment purchases and business improvements.

  • Opportunity Zones: Expanded to unlock billions in private investment for emerging and underserved areas.

  • Working Family Tax Cuts: The President noted that nearly half of all taxpayers have already benefited from the "No Tax on Tips" and "No Tax on Overtime" provisions, which he argues puts more spending power back into the hands of hardworking citizens.

A major theme of the proclamation was the removal of "burdensome and unnecessary" red tape.

• • Suspending BOI Reporting: The President highlighted his decision to suspend the Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) reporting requirements. He estimated this single action saved small businesses nearly $130 billion in paperwork and compliance costs.

  • Focus on Craft, Not Paperwork: The administration’s goal is to allow owners to focus on their specific trades and productivity rather than "endless paperwork."

The President reaffirmed his commitment to domestic production, stating that under his leadership, the U.S. is once again making products on its own shores. He framed his "America First" platform as a way to prioritize domestic jobs and industries over foreign interests.

As the nation commemorates its 250th anniversary, President Trump pledged to continue advancing the spirit of entrepreneurship. He concluded that by restoring the "American promise" of hard work and character, the administration is ensuring that the United States remains the premier "land of opportunity" for generations to come.

During National Hurricane Preparedness Week, President Donald J. Trump issued a call to action for Americans in high-risk coastal areas, emphasizing a "preparedness-first" approach and detailing an overhaul of federal disaster response systems.

Key highlights from the President’s message include:

The President urged citizens to take proactive, "meaningful steps" today to mitigate the impact of future storms. His recommendations include:

• • Property Protections: Investing in physical safeguards for homes and businesses.

  • Emergency Planning: Developing family evacuation plans and staying aware of local routes.

  • Essential Supplies: Assembling disaster kits before hurricane season begins.

  • Staying Informed: Monitoring storm forecasts to ensure readiness to act "at a moment’s notice."

A central theme of the proclamation was the administration's shift toward supporting frontline responders rather than over-regulating them.

• • Cutting Bureaucracy: The President pledged the "full support of the Federal Government" to help local communities deploy resources more efficiently and reduce the "burden of bureaucracy."

  • Investing in Resilience: By funding preventative steps at the local level, the administration aims to help communities rebuild "faster and stronger."

President Trump highlighted a series of reforms aimed at making the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) a more streamlined partner for survivors:

• • Accelerated Funding: Drastically cutting the time it takes to get federal financial assistance into the hands of hurricane survivors.

  • Rapid Deployment: Speeding up the arrival of FEMA responders to storm-affected areas.

  • Efficient Cleanup: Prioritizing and accelerating debris removal efforts to help neighborhoods recover quickly.

The President concluded by expressing "deepest gratitude" to the first responders who risk their safety to save lives. He also extended thoughts and prayers to families who have been touched by the devastation of past hurricanes.

Core Objective:
The administration's strategy centers on a "results-oriented" disaster policy: encouraging individual responsibility while transforming the federal government into a faster, more effective support system that prioritizes recovery over red tape.

Trump issued a proclamation celebrating the contributions of AAPI communities to the "national story" and highlighting the alignment between AAPI values and his administration’s "America First" agenda.

• • The One Big Beautiful Bill Act: Cited as a primary tool for lowering the cost of living and providing "historic tax relief" for working families and small business owners.

  • Public Safety: A renewed focus on stopping violent crime to ensure safe neighborhoods for children.

  • Secure better opportunities for American workers of every background.

As the United States commemorates its Semiquincentennial, the President framed AAPI Heritage Month as a time to look toward a "radiant American future." He concluded by pledging that this future will be guided by faith, hope, and an "unwavering belief in the greatness of our Nation."

The proclamation underscores a message of unity through shared economic and social values, positioning the AAPI community as a vital pillar of the "New Golden Age of America."
