What
tax cuts mean for Ohio This afternoon, President
Donald J. Trump visits Cincinnati, Ohio, for the second time
during his Administration. He’ll be joined by Treasury
Secretary Steven Mnuchin and Republican legislators from Ohio
to discuss what tax cuts and reform has meant for the state.
The
President will tell Ohioans that since he signed the Tax Cuts
and Jobs Act in late December, more than 300 companies have
delivered bonuses, raises, or 401(k) investments to more than 3
million American workers. The result of the bill has been
historic tax relief for Americans not seen since President
Ronald Reagan’s Administration.
Before
he speaks to Ohioans, President Trump will participate in a
tour of the Sheffer Corporation—a manufacturer of hydraulic,
pneumatic, and custom cylinders—and meet with Ohio business
leaders.
The
President meets with North Korean defectors President
Trump met with eight defectors from North Korea Friday in the
Oval Office. One person from the group, Ji Seong-ho, had joined
the President as a special guest at last Tuesday’s State of
the Union Address.
“[Seong-ho]
really made an incredible impression on me and on everybody
else, both on television and in that magnificent room,” the
President said. “I had an opportunity to meet with some of
the folks, and their stories are amazing.”
The
defectors shared personal stories of their harrowing escapes
from North Korea, as well as details on their experiences
living under Pyongyang’s repressive Kim regime. The group of
escapees met with other senior U.S. officials during their trip
to Washington.
Jobs
gains top off a banner week Friday morning’s
jobs report showed 200,000 new jobs in January, capping off a
week of stellar economic news that included rising wages,
higher confidence, and expanding manufacturing.
