🚨The U.S., Mexico & Canada share one of the strongest manufacturing partnerships in the world under the USMCA. To keep our integrated #textile supply chain strong: protect textile rules, close loopholes & stop fraud. Together we compete — and win — against China & Asia. 👇

The U.S. #textile industry sincerely thanks the Department of the Interior and OMB's Made in America Office for prioritizing the procurement of American-made uniforms & textiles and recognizing the importance of the domestic textile supply chain. 👇 ow.ly/LCeg50YvgtF

NCTO CEO Kim Glas joined our GTC committee members at DLA Troop Support's annual Joint Advanced Planning Brief for Industry (JAPBI) conference in N.J. today highlighting future U.S. military clothing & gear requirements & business opportunities. #Americantextiles #WeMakeAmazing

We are grateful for the administration’s strong support on keeping the #deminimis loophole closed. This dangerous loophole has facilitated forced labor, dangerous & uninspected products to our doorsteps. We are grateful for the administration’s strong leadership on this issue.

The U.S. #textile industry thanks President Trump & USTR Greer for their strong support by exempting the 10% tariff for CAFTA-DR & USMCA qualified goods. Over 70% of what the domestic industry makes is exported to these critical markets. This is welcome news at a critical time.

@LindseyGrahamSC NCTO & the U.S. #textile industry thanks @LindseyGrahamSC for his leadership and support on this important issue & we look forward to working with him & the administration on ensuring that 100% of federal law enforcement uniforms are made in the USA.

I find it unbelievable, and quite frankly unacceptable, that uniforms for federal law enforcement agencies are produced by foreign nations. This practice is just one of too many examples where our dependency on other countries seriously jeopardizes our nation’s safety.    As @POTUS works to rebuild domestic manufacturing, I encourage him to take executive action to ensure 100% of federal law enforcement uniforms are made in the USA. This move would greatly help to revitalize South Carolina’s textile industry, which was decimated for many years by these types of America-last policies that sold out our industrial base at the expense of American workers and national security.    newsweek.com/why-are-americ…

🚨NCTO applauds launch of the House Berry Amendment Caucus, led by Reps. Pat Harrigan (R-NC) & Don Davis (D-NC), to strengthen the U.S. defense supply chain through procurement of American-made textiles, uniforms, body armor & equipment. 👇 ow.ly/Kn4T50YhBBS #BerryAmendment

🚨 Call to action for U.S. textiles! NCTO CEO Kim Glas urges industry to tell elected officials the importance of prioritizing American-made textile procurement across all agencies. We have the capacity—NOW is the time to showcase how important it would be for our industry.👇

🚨 NCTO in the News: CEO Kim Glas in @Newsweek asks why U.S. officials are wearing foreign-made uniforms. A must-read on taxpayer-funded procurement of foreign-made gear & a call for executive action to prioritize American-made textiles for all agencies.👇 ow.ly/fh0750Yf84Q

🚨 The U.S. #textile industry can't afford another backdoor trade loophole. NCTO urges House leaders to block legislation that would reopen a dangerous pathway for millions of low-value imports that undermine U.S. #textile manufacturers. 👇 ow.ly/sgje50Yewuf

The U.S. textile industry sincerely appreciates Sen. Graham's support of this vital industry. We applaud his call to procure more American-made textiles & apparel across federal agencies & the military. This will bolster our sector in support of an America First Trade policy.

🚨Congress is trying to reopen the de minimis loophole President Trump shut down—letting foreign importers dodge tariffs and flood the U.S. with small-package imports.

🚨NCTO in the News! “Today’s action will reinforce the strength of the U.S. #textile industry. The U.S.-Western Hemisphere supply chain is a strategic bulwark against China & other Asian competitors,” --NCTO CEO Kim Glas in @Politico on U.S. trade deal w/ El Salvador.

🚨 A new reciprocal trade agreement w/Guatemala strengthens the U.S. #textile supply chain & reinforces the Western Hemisphere as a strategic alternative to China. This boosts manufacturing & job creation and keeps textiles made closer to home. 👇 ow.ly/QTEB50Y6mnS

The U.S. #textile industry thanks @USTradeRep Greer & the administration for a reciprocal trade deal w/ El Salvador that supports U.S. textile manufacturers & workers, bolsters the domestic supply chain & enhances U.S.-Western Hemisphere production chain. ow.ly/IkOp50Y5z9O

Today's reciprocal trade agreement between the U.S. and El Salvador will help bolster a vital U.S. -Western Hemisphere textile & apparel coproduction chain & support hundreds of thousands of jobs. 👏

NCTO CEO Kim Glas joined VP of Government Affairs Todd Ethington & VP of Policy Katie White in a series of important meetings on Capitol Hill today to advocate on key trade policies impacting the U.S. #textile industry, a strategic manufacturing sector to the U.S. economy.

📢 NCTO CEO Kim Glas at National Press Club highlights why it was imperative for the U.S. government to end the #deminimis loophole which allowed 1.4B low-value shipments to enter the U.S. market duty free & uninspected, harming U.S. manufacturers & putting consumers at risk.👇

🚨 @CBP collected over $1 billion in duties on over 246 million low-cost shipments since the administration began phasing out the de minimis loophole in May 2025, recovering a record amount of revenue that had previously gone uncollected. Learn more: cbp.gov/newsroom/natio…
