Donald John Trump, Proclamation 9663 — National Minority Enterprise Development Week (2017)
“ The United States is entering upon a new period of economic revival. Unemployment is at a 16-year low, businesses are expanding, and wages are rising. Ensuring that minority-owned businesses remain strong and vibrant is vital to the growth of our great Nation. Minority-owned firms employ eight million people and generate more than $1 trillion in annual economic output. They export their products at a greater rate than non minority businesses and provide a great boost to our global competitiveness. ”
