Washington, March 12 (NationPress) President Donald Trump has asserted that tax cuts and incentives for local production are driving investment and creating jobs throughout the United States. During his visit to Kentucky, he claimed that his economic strategies were assisting American enterprises in their growth and hiring efforts.

Speaking at First Logistics in Hebron, Kentucky, on Wednesday (local time), Trump pointed out that the family-operated business was expanding its reach in response to the administration's economic initiatives.

The firm, which has approximately 2,600 employees, is set to invest over $10 million this year and aims to acquire new tractor-trailers, as well as establish warehouses in Texas and North Carolina.

Trump leveraged the occasion to advocate what he termed the "great big beautiful bill", labeling it the most substantial tax cut package in US history. He emphasized that the legislation encompassed "no tax on overtime", informing workers that "any extra hours you work, your overtime pay is now 100 percent tax free."

The President contended that tax incentives and deductions for equipment purchases were motivating companies to grow and hire additional staff. "Today, more individuals are employed in the USA than at any point in our nation's past," he stated.

Trump also highlighted significant manufacturing investments that he claimed illustrated a resurgence in industrial growth within the United States.

He referenced a $2 billion domestic manufacturing investment by Thermo Fisher Scientific in Ohio and a $2 billion Ford Motor Company assembly plant in Louisville, Kentucky, projected to create over 2,200 jobs.

He noted that Apple was heavily investing in US production, including plans to manufacture "100 percent of the glass for iPhones and Apple Watches right here in Kentucky factories". He also mentioned that GE Aerospace had declared a $1 billion investment in American manufacturing, with $115 million earmarked for nearby Cincinnati.

Trump connected these investment announcements to his tariff policies and economic agenda, asserting they were aimed at persuading companies to produce goods domestically instead of abroad.

The event also included addresses from company executives and local employees who conveyed that the tax measures would enhance their take-home income. A company executive stated that the overtime provision could yield "an average of $1,400 more take-home pay annually per employee."

Sami Biddle, a bartender and general manager at a distillery in Newport, Kentucky, remarked that changes in taxes on tips and overtime had increased her tax refund and brought her closer to purchasing land for her future home.

Nevertheless, the speech adopted a political tone as Trump urged his supporters to rally behind Republicans in the forthcoming elections and criticized Democrats for their opposition to the tax legislation.
