President
Trump supports prison reform
Crime imposes a
significant burden on Americans' well-being and
taxpayer-financed resources. These costs are amplified by
re-arrest rates for released American prisoners that exceed 50
percent. Many programs have been tried to reverse this trend
over the past few decades. Some of them work; some don't.
President Donald
J. Trump supports prison reform legislation that
builds on evidence-based programs to reduce prisoner recidivism
rates. The President has called on Congress to help former
inmates who have completed their sentences to have a second
chance to become contributing members of society.
The White House
hosted a summit on prisons last week. "Prison
reform is an issue that unites people from across the political
spectrum," President Trump said. "It's an amazing
thing. Our whole nation benefits if former inmates are able to
reenter society as productive, law-abiding citizens."

Highlights
from the President's remarks at the White House summit
Making NATO
work for America-and the world
President Trump
hosted NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg at the
White House last week. The President is continuing the legacy
of transatlantic unity and is working with Secretary General
Stoltenberg to ensure a successful NATO Summit this summer.
President Trump also met with United Nations Secretary-General
Antonio Guterres on Friday.
Sharing the
defense burden continues to be a major priority. The
Trump Administration is working with NATO Allies to ensure they
make progress in meeting their agreed-upon defense spending
commitments, which is in the interest of each NATO member
individually and the alliance collectively.
Every NATO
member has increased defense spending since President
Trump took office. In 2017 alone, there was a boost of more
than 4.8 percent in defense spending among NATO Allies,
amounting to nearly $14 billion. This was the largest
single-year increase in more than a quarter century.
