Kevin McGurn and Kyle Wool will lead New America as CEO and adviser, respectively.

This venture aligns with President Trump’s focus on boosting US manufacturing through tariffs on foreign nations.

Trump Media & Technology Group, which owns Truth Social, also went public through a SPAC merger, resulting in a significant windfall for Trump.

Last month, GrabAGun, an online gun dealer backed by Don Jr., went public through a similar blank-check deal.

Investment firms D. Boral Capital and Dominari Securities will offer shares in New America, continuing their collaboration with Don Jr.
