U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin presses Donald Trump administration for 'Buy American' report

When President Donald Trump traveled to Snap-On Inc. in Kenosha in April to tout American manufacturing, he signed a "Buy American, Hire American" executive order.

One of the promises made in the order was that a report would be completed within 220 days to provide recommendations to strengthen the country's Buy American laws.

Well, the 220 days have passed and among those who would like to see the report is Democratic U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin.

Baldwin, who faces re-election next year, sent a letter to Trump Tuesday calling on his administration to complete and make public the report.

The only problem is, according to Baldwin's letter, the report may not be finished.

Baldwin urged the administration "to expedite the publication of this now late report."

A White House official said that Baldwin was referring to an internal report that will be used to inform the White House’s policy making process on the issue.

Baldwin and Trump may be political opposites, but they appear to be closer on "Buy American" policies.

In an interview in Kenosha with WTMJ-TV, Trump voiced support for Baldwin's legislation to use American-made iron and steel to rebuild America's water infrastructure. The effort was bottled up in the Republican-led Congress.

Baldwin said in her letter that she remained hopeful that she and Trump could "work together to ensure Congress strengthens our government's commitment to buying American-made goods in order to improve wages, boost growth, and support American manufacturers."
