President Donald J. Trump on Thursday saluted America’s entrepreneurs and small business owners in a message for National Entrepreneurship Month. He called them “the heart of our Nation.”

“This National Entrepreneurship Month, we recognize the patriotic innovators whose drive and vision have created the strongest business economy the world has ever seen,” the president wrote in the message, which the White House released.

Mr. Trump pointed to the Working Families Tax Cuts Act. He said his administration “made the Small Business Tax Deduction permanent, secured No Taxes on Tips and Overtime, and delivered historic tax cuts to hardworking families across our country.”

He also talked about cutting red tape. The president said that in his first weeks back in office, he signed the Unleashing Prosperity Through Deregulation Executive Order. It told federal agencies to remove 10 old rules for every new one they put out. “My Administration has far surpassed that goal, cutting over 1,500 regulations and saving Americans over $1.5 trillion,” he wrote.

According to the message, next came the Reducing Anti-Competitive Regulatory Barriers Executive Order. The president said that order “roots out the obstacles that smother competition, innovation, and the formation of new businesses.”

“As President, I remain committed to keeping America the greatest place in the world to start and grow a business,” Mr. Trump wrote. He added that his administration will keep cutting rules that weigh on businesses and keep “combating unfair foreign trade practices.”

“When we support these brilliant innovators, America is stronger, our communities excel, and our ability to dream big and turn those visions into reality is unparalleled,” he wrote.
