Trump companies don't always follow his 'buy American, hire American' pledge
President Donald Trump promoted his "buy American, hire American" policy again Tuesday — but his family's companies haven't always followed that pledge themselves.
After touring a Snap-on tools plant in Wisconsin on Tuesday afternoon, Trump signed an executive order pushing the hiring of domestic workers by American companies.
The measure will aim to make it more difficult for businesses to hire lower-wage foreign workers, particularly through changes to the H-1B program favored by technology companies, The New York Times reported. The order will also direct a review of government rules related to the use of American companies for federal contracts.
"We are sending a powerful signal to the world. We are going to protect our workers, defend our jobs and finally put America first," Trump said Tuesday.
But businesses owned by Trump and his family members don't always favor American workers.
