President Barack Obama visited Master Lock Company LLC’s Milwaukee production plant, where he called on companies to promote more investments and more jobs in the United States.
"Right now we have an excellent opportunity to bring manufacturing back, but we have to seize it," Obama said. "My message to business leaders is simple: Ask yourselves what you can do to bring jobs back to your country, and your country will do everything we can to help you succeed."
Obama saluted Master Lock as an American manufacturer that is “insourcing,” or bringing jobs back to the United States from foreign countries.
Obama also announced that the U.S. Commerce Department will conduct its first annual SelectUSA Investment Summit, which will bring companies in to meet with governors, mayors and others to discuss ways of promoting investments in the United States.
