Donald Trump continues to call for the U.S. government to “hire American.”
The president-elect said Thursday on Instagram that when he becomes president, federal agencies will abide by “two simple rules.” According to The Hill, he has been urging business leaders to refrain from moving U.S. jobs to other countries and to reduce the cost of projects for the government.
At a rally last month, the president-elect told a crowd of supporters: “Remember, years ago, we used to proudly display ‘Made in the USA.’ … We don’t see it. I don’t see it anymore. We ought to start doing that. Any of the manufacturers that were doing a lot of talking to a lot of companies that were thinking about leaving, and I tell ya, I don’t think they’re going to be leaving so fast anymore.”

Trump boasted that because of his efforts, two companies have decided to keep jobs in the country. He argued that the firms changed their plans because the U.S. economy is doing well.

However, the Trump Organization is still hiring non-Americans. One of the business empire’s operations, Trump Winery, reportedly has asked the Labor Department to allow it to use the government’s temporary work visas to employ additional foreigners. Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach, Fla., also is staffed by foreign workers, The Hill noted.
