Vice President JD Vance delivered a speech at the American Dynamism Summit on March 18, 2025, focusing on revitalizing U.S. industry, technology, and defense. Below are the key highlights of his remarks:
- Vision for American Innovation: Vance emphasized the need to align the interests of U.S. technology firms with national priorities, advocating for policies that foster innovation and reduce dependence on foreign manufacturing. He highlighted the administration’s commitment to cutting taxes, reducing regulations, and lowering energy costs to encourage domestic production and innovation12.

He suggested that reliance on cheap labor has hindered productivity and called for higher labor costs to drive innovation4.
- Support for Builders: He praised American entrepreneurs and companies for creating real value through manufacturing, research, and development, calling them “builders” who contribute to a new industrial renaissance in the U.S.23.
