The men and women of @ICEgov are American heroes – you’re doing an important job. We’re going to continue to work to ensure this agency has the support and the resources that you need and the respect that you deserve. #IStandWithICE
Calls to abolish ICE are not just outrageous – they are irresponsible. Abolishing ICE would mean more illegal immigration… Abolishing ICE would mean more violent crime… Abolishing ICE would mean more vicious gangs like MS-13. #IStandWithICE
Abolishing ICE would mean more illegal drugs in our schools and on our streets… Abolishing ICE would mean more human trafficking… And abolishing ICE would give terrorists a new chance to exploit immigration loopholes, which is exactly what happened before 9/11. #IStandWithICE
.@POTUS Trump promised to fight for better trade deals – and once again today he delivered. After a year of tough negotiations, the United States and Mexico reached a trade agreement that is fair and reciprocal and will strengthen both nations’ economies.
Today marks a new chapter between the United States and Mexico – one built around friendship, security, commerce, and prosperity. The U.S. – Mexico Trade Agreement is a win for American ranchers, manufacturers, and auto workers.
Our nations have agreed to new rules that will maintain duty free access for agricultural goods on both sides of the border. In addition, we have agreed to eliminate non-tariff barriers and take other steps to encourage more agriculture trade between our two countries.
Speaking at @NASA_Johnson Space Center today. Under @POTUS Trump’s leadership, soon, American astronauts will return to space on American rockets launched from American soil. We are leading in space once again. 🚀🇺🇸 whitehouse.gov/live
Thanks to @POTUS Trump’s vision and decisive action, with strong support from partners in Congress, and to the pioneering work & courage of innovators & astronauts, and the enduring commitment of the @NASA_Johnson Space Center & @NASA — America is leading in space once again!
We’re renewing our national commitment to discovery & exploration & write the next great chapter of our nation’s journey into space. It’s now the official policy of the US that we’ll return to the Moon, put Americans on Mars & once again explore the farthest depths of outer space
COMING UP: I’ll be touring Industrial Weldors & Machinists, Inc. and speaking with its hard-working employees in Duluth, MN. Listen live: whitehouse.gov/live/
From early in this administration, @POTUS Trump worked to roll back federal red tape to unleash American energy. And just before Christmas, President Trump signed the largest tax cuts and tax reform in American history.
Not only will the tax cut mean about $3000 in savings for the average Minnesota family of 4, but companies just like IWM have been able to reinvest in their people and in their plants in ways that are creating jobs and growing opportunities.
The Good Book says, “if you owe debts, pay debts, if honor then honor, if respect then respect,” and we are gathered here, at this Honorable Carry Ceremony to receive 55 flag-draped cases, which we trust include the remains of American heroes who fell in the Korean War.
Some have called the Korean War the “forgotten war.” But today, we prove these heroes were never forgotten. Today, our boys are coming home. @POTUS Trump asked me to be here on this day on his behalf, and honestly, I’ve never been more humbled to be asked to represent him.
My dad, LT Ed Pence, fought in combat in the Korean War. He came back with a medal on his chest. But my dad – gone now 30 years – always told us that the real heroes of the Korean War were the ones who didn’t get to come home.
In NYC to address #DHSCyberSummit. Because of previous administrations, we inherited a cyber-crisis. Our Admin is committed to LEADING by strengthening our cyber security, forging new partnerships, and making America dominant in the digital world.
America’s digital infrastructure is under constant cyber-attack. The federal government alone experiences hundreds of thousands of digital assaults every day… Our digital foes are targeting every facet of our society. #DHSCyberSummitwhitehouse.gov/live/
Previous administrations let the American people down when it came to cyber-defense…In a very real sense, we inherited a cyber-crisis. The last administration all but neglected cyber-security even though the digital threats were growing more numerous & more dangerous by the day.
Today, more than 90 leaders from across the globe will meet at the @StateDept to discuss religious freedom. I’m honored to keynote the first-ever #IRFMinisterial. We are committed to protecting the freedom of religion across the world. Watch at 10 AM ET: whitehouse.gov/live/
As @POTUS Trump has said on many occasions, the United States of America is a “nation of faith” – and religious freedom is a top priority of this administration. Since the earliest days of our nation, America has stood for religious freedom. #IRFMinisterial
After this great nation secured our independence, the American Founders enshrined religious freedom as the first freedom in the Constitution of the United States – and America has always and will always lead the world by our example. #IRFMinisterial
