特朗普宣布WeatherTech创办人David MacNeil出任制造业特使
美国总统唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）11月9日在社交平台 Truth Social 发帖宣布，汽车配件企业 WeatherTech 的创办人 David MacNeil 将出任制造业特使（Special Envoy for Manufacturing）。特朗普称 MacNeil 创办了一家出色的美国公司，产品就在美国本土制造，他懂得如何创造就业、把制造业带回美国并坚持美国优先。
特朗普在帖中说，MacNeil 创办的公司生产优质产品，全部在美国制造；两人将一起把美国就业带回来、强化美国的工厂，并确保未来的产品都在美国制造。特朗普称 MacNeil 的专业经验是眼下迫切需要的，并向他表示祝贺。这则帖文发表于美东时间11月9日15时58分。
WeatherTech 由 MacNeil 于1989年创办，总部位于伊利诺伊州 Bolingbrook，以汽车脚垫等汽车配件闻名，公司长期以美国本土生产为主要卖点。这不是 MacNeil 第一次被特朗普点名任用：2025年5月，特朗普曾提名他出任国务院工业与制造业竞争力无任所大使，参议院未采取行动，该提名已于2026年1月3日被退回总统；2026年1月，特朗普又提名他出任联邦贸易委员会委员。
据 MLex 11月4日报道，MacNeil 已撤回联邦贸易委员会委员的提名，白宫计划改提他人出任该职。制造业特使是他退出该提名之后获得的新任命。
这项任命目前系特朗普在 Truth Social 发帖宣布，白宫尚未发布正式声明，特使的职责范围、就任时间与是否需要参议院确认，帖中均未说明。（来源：特朗普）
Trump Names WeatherTech Founder David MacNeil as Special Envoy for Manufacturing
President Donald Trump announced in a post on Truth Social on November 9 that David MacNeil, the founder of the automotive accessories company WeatherTech, will be the Special Envoy for Manufacturing. Trump said MacNeil built an incredible American company whose products are made in the United States, and that he knows how to create jobs, bring manufacturing back home and put America First.
Trump wrote that together they would bring back American jobs, strengthen U.S. factories and make sure that future products are made in America, and he congratulated MacNeil, calling his expertise vitally needed. The post was published at 3:58 p.m. Eastern Time on November 9.
MacNeil founded WeatherTech in 1989. The company, headquartered in Bolingbrook, Illinois, is best known for automotive floor mats and other vehicle accessories and has long marketed its U.S.-based production. This is not MacNeil's first appointment by Trump: in May 2025 Trump nominated him as Ambassador at Large for Industrial and Manufacturing Competitiveness at the State Department; the Senate took no action and the nomination was returned to the president on January 3, 2026. In January 2026, Trump nominated him to serve as a commissioner of the Federal Trade Commission.
According to MLex reporting on November 4, MacNeil has withdrawn his nomination to the Federal Trade Commission, and the White House plans to nominate another candidate for that seat. The manufacturing envoy post is the new appointment he received after that withdrawal.
The appointment was announced by Trump in his Truth Social post; the White House has not issued a formal statement, and the post did not specify the envoy's duties, a start date, or whether Senate confirmation is required. (Source: Donald Trump)
