President Trump speaking at an conference for the National Association of Business Trade Unions (NTABU) in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday said that his priority is “America first.”
"I'm not, and I don't want to be, the president of the world,” said Trump. “I'm the president of the United States."
“And from now on, it’s going to be America first,” he added, echoing his previous remarks slamming globalism.
He praised builders as “artisans” and “the backbone of America,” promising a great renewal of U.S. infrastructure under his administration.
"With the talent in this room, we can build any city at any time and we can build it better than anyone," said Trump.
"Together we are going to rebuild our nation," he went on.
President Trump called himself a builder, referring to his experience in real estate development.
“We’re a nation of builders and it was about time we had one in the White House,” he said.
While Trump discussed creating and fixing the country’s roads, tunnels and bridges, he did not refer to any specific bill or plan for an infrastructure overhaul.
U.S. Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao said that the administration plans to release a legislative package for infrastructure in May.
The Trump administration's infrastructure plan is said to be valued at $1 trillion.
