Trump travels to Texas, where he will meet with family members
and community leaders affected by this month's tragic shooting
at Santa Fe High School. Read

Giving
terminally ill patients a chance, here at home
An estimated
609,640 Americans will die from cancer alone in 2018,
according to the National Cancer Institute. Before yesterday,
the options for terminally ill patients who had exhausted all
available treatments were extremely limited. Only 3 percent of
cancer patients today are enrolled in clinical trials for new
medication, for instance.
With President
Trump's signature, this bleak picture changes. The
"Right to Try" law he signed yesterday gives more
than 1 million Americans who die each year from terminal
illnesses a new tool to make potentially lifesaving treatment
decisions. The act amends Federal law to allow certain
unapproved, experimental drugs to be administered to terminally
ill patients who have exhausted all approved treatment options
and are unable to participate in clinical drug trials.
"People who
are terminally ill should not have to go from country to
country to seek a cure," President Trump says.
"I'd see people-friends of mine, and other people I'd read
about, where they'd travel all over the world looking for a
cure. And we have the best medical people in the world."
President
Trump fulfills his promise to expand options for terminally ill
Americans.

Sports
participation and physical activity are crucial for child
development, supporting personal and social growth,
lifetime health and fitness habits, and a competitive spirit.
Children that play sports have higher educational achievement,
earn higher incomes as adults, and have improved mental health.
Each president
since Dwight Eisenhower has convened a Council on Fitness
to focus on various sports, nutrition, and well-being
initiatives. President Trump has given his Council a clear
purpose: to reverse the declining trend of youth sports
participation and to ensure that all American children are
given the opportunity to compete.
To introduce his
intended Council appointees, the President invited
several hundred children, parents, and coaches to the White
House for a field day on the South Lawn. Athletes such as
Mariano Rivera, Herschel Walker, and Misty May-Treanor joined
youth participants in activities ranging from flag football to
volleyball.
