Printed page 49 2. Executive Office of the President

“MIAO. Building on the example and work of the Trump Administration, President Biden established this office to centralize, carry out, and further develop the federal government's Buy-American and other Made-in-America commitments. Its work ought to be continued and further strengthened.”

What has happened

  1. Done

    Two years in, the office is intact and doing the work the Quote wanted continued. The FY2027 Budget Appendix describes it as an operating component of OMB: "The OMB Made in America Office establishes standards and manages compliance with domestic content preferences in statute. It reviews agency waiver requests to assess consistency and compliance and establishes policies in an effort to ensure Federal funds are supporting domestic content and jobs." The President's Management Agenda of December 2025 lists "Rebuild American industry through prioritizing and enhancing Made in America execution" as a management priority goal. A continuation ask is done while the thing continues.

  2. Partially done

    The Made in America Office was kept and lifted a rung. OMB's February 2025 announcement of senior appointees names Michael Stumo — previously chief executive of the Coalition for a Prosperous America — as "Associate Director for Economic Policy and the Made in America Office", which puts the office inside a Program Associate Director's portfolio rather than leaving it as a staff function. That is continuation, and the beginning of the strengthening the Quote asks for.

Research notes

EO 14392 (Ensuring Truthful Advertising of Products Claiming To Be Made in America, 13 March 2026) is about Federal Trade Commission enforcement against false origin claims in the consumer market; we read it and it does not mention the Made in America Office, so it is not cited here.
