LISTEN: Trump Administration Moves to Gut Program that Helps Small Manufacturers

The Trump administration reportedly plans to end funding for the Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP) program, a public-private partnership that supports small and medium-sized manufacturers, which represent nearly 98% of firms in the U.S. 

While the Department of Commerce did not officially announce a funding cut, U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) issued a statement that said the Trump administration would halt funding for 10 MEP centers.
