President Donald Trump may be famous for talking and thinking big, but a Trump official came to Long Island recently, touting the need, now and then, to think small.
United States Small Business Administrator Kelly Loeffler on April 24 toured GSE Dynamics in Hauppauge as part of the SBA’s Made in America manufacturing roadshow, seeking to highlight U.S. manufacturing.
She started her “road show,” designed to promote U.S. manufacturing, at an aerospace and defense manufacturing facility in Indianapolis, and most recently stopped in Pennsylvania before visiting GSE Dynamics.
Loeffler stood side by side with GSE Dynamics CEO Anne Shybunko-Moore, both touting the belief in the need to manufacture in the United States, near banners celebrating the company’s 50th anniversary a few years ago.
“We have seen an incredible contrast to the narrative we see in the mainstream media every day. That we can’t make this in America,” Loeffler said. “Well, we can and we are and we will do more of it.”
Loeffler highlighted what she called the administration’s efforts to support small business, including identifying and reducing red tape in its Made in America initiative.
She said the SBA during President Trump’s first 100 days supported loans at a record volume. “We see continued growth,” Loeffler said. “We know that they depend on us. We feel a tremendous weight of that responsibility.”
