On the Road in Iowa: America First Trade is Raising Wages, Reshoring Jobs, and Restoring America’s Global Competitiveness
WASHINGTON - Last week, Ambassador Jamieson Greer joined Small Business Administrator Kelly Loeffler in Iowa to tour one of the largest off-road tire manufacturers, Titan Tires, and attend the Iowa State Fair. While walking the factory floor, Ambassador Greer and Administrator Loeffler met with blue-collar workers and industry leaders to discuss how President Trump's policies are raising wages and reshoring jobs and production lines back to U.S. soil.
To kick off the Iowa State Fair, Ambassador Greer visited dozens of vendors celebrating the state's rich agricultural and industrial roots alongside Administrator Loeffler, Senator Chuck Grassley, Representative Ashley Hinson, and Representative Zach Nunn.
