President Donald J. Trump on Thursday saluted America’s entrepreneurs and small business owners in a message marking National Entrepreneurship Month, calling 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, saying 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 highlighted his deregulatory agenda. The president said that in his first weeks back in office he signed the Unleashing Prosperity Through Deregulation Executive Order, which directed federal agencies to repeal 10 old regulations for every new one issued. “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, that order was followed by the Reducing Anti-Competitive Regulatory Barriers Executive Order, which the president said “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, adding that his administration will keep reducing regulatory burdens and “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.
