Trump Issues Critical Infrastructure Security and Resilience Month Message, Invokes Defense Production Act for Grid Equipment
President Donald J. Trump issued a presidential message on November 10 in Washington marking Critical Infrastructure Security and Resilience Month, laying out an America First Resilience Strategy: confronting the gravest threats to the homeland head-on, upgrading aging technology and infrastructure to guarantee dependable power, clean water and modern communications, returning authority to the states and equipping governors, local leaders and industries to prepare for and recover from crises, and streamlining government to deliver faster results. The stated goal is to secure the supply chains and systems the nation depends on so that no adversary and no disaster can hold America or its core interests hostage.
On energy and manufacturing, the message says the President has declared a National Energy Emergency, signed an executive order on unleashing American energy directing every federal agency to expedite major energy projects, and established the National Energy Dominance Council. He has also invoked the Defense Production Act to strengthen domestic production of transformers, transmission equipment and other critical components essential to the electric grid and national defense, while expanding American oil, natural gas and nuclear energy production and eliminating burdensome regulations.
On digital infrastructure, the message says America is entering an era of Super Intelligence (SI) data centers, with investment across the country to keep the United States the global leader. America's largest technology companies have signed the Ratepayer Protection Pledge, agreeing to pay for the new power generation and grid upgrades their data centers require instead of passing those costs on to American families.
The message closes by honoring the Americans who build, operate and defend the nation's infrastructure, naming linemen, engineers, technicians, operators, cybersecurity professionals and skilled workers, and saying their dedication keeps America running. Critical Infrastructure Security and Resilience Month is observed each November.
