Vice President JD Vance on the Trump Administration's commitment to supporting veteran owned small businesses: "Under the President's leadership, we are going to put hundreds of millions of dollars this year and I think billions of dollars over the next couple of years, in continuing to support our veteran owned small businesses... I'd much rather rely on my fellow citizens to build and make and create the economy of the future because I know that my fellow citizens are going to be there. Not just for me, not just for my family, but for everybody in the United States of America."

Vice President JD Vance on the impact American small businesses have on our economy: “The net contributor to job growth in our country is you all.
