Small Business Administrator and former Georgia U.S. Sen. Kelly Loeffler was in Georgia on Monday to celebrate President Donald Trump’s first 100 days in office.

Loeffler visited Winton Machine Company in Suwanee on Monday evening to talk about Trump’s impact on small businesses. She also touted changes to the SBA loan program, including citizenship verification and underwriting standards.

Now because of our focus on making sure that we run this agency properly, we've seen a historic surge in demand for capital through our loan programs from our job creators, our small businesses,” she said. 

She said the SBA has approved over 26,000 loans in the first 100 days of the Trump administration.

Trump has faced pushback from some small business owners who say that high tariffs levied against China have caused financial strain to their businesses.
