The American Chemistry Council (ACC) has expressed its support for the newly inaugurated President Trump and Vice President Vance. The ACC is eager to work with the new administration to help the U.S. become a global leader in manufacturing.

In a statement, ACC President and CEO Chris Jahn highlighted the important role that the chemical and plastics industries play in the U.S. economy. Jahn noted that the $633 billion U.S. chemical manufacturing industry supports nearly 25% of the country’s GDP and is a key driver of innovation and economic growth.

Jahn also emphasized the need for the U.S. to increase its domestic production of critical chemistries. The ACC is calling on the Trump administration to implement policies that will support the growth of the U.S. chemical industry and reduce the country’s reliance on foreign imports.

In addition to its focus on domestic production, the ACC is also looking to work with the new administration to address environmental concerns. The organization is committed to reducing pollution and waste, and is calling for increased investment in the recycling and reuse of plastics.

The ACC is also advocating for a more predictable and science-based regulatory environment. The organization is urging the Trump administration to prioritize energy independence and to support the growth of the U.S. chemical industry.

Overall, the ACC is optimistic about the potential for collaboration with the new administration. The organization is looking to work with the Trump administration and the 119th Congress to advance its policy priorities and to support the continued growth of the U.S. chemical industry.
