Trump's First 100 Days: Trump to sign 'Hire American,' 'Buy American' order

Here’s where things stand heading into Day 88 of the Trump administration:

President Trump spent much of the campaign vowing to reduce competition for American workers.

On Tuesday, he will sign an executive order in pursuit of that goal — although it’s unclear how much the administration can actually do without Congress’s approval.

Here are the two main objectives of the executive order, which Trump will sign in the afternoon as part of a trip to Kenosha, Wis.

The first goal is to lay the foundation for overhauling programs that allow foreign workers into the United States. In their current form, Trump sees these programs — including the H-1B visa program used by technology companies — as sources of cheap labor that drive down wages and limit opportunities for U.S. workers.
