Unemployment
reaches lowest level in 18 years
The United
States economy added 223,000 jobs in May, one of many
recent indicators showing that President Trump's economic
policies are paying dividends for American workers and
businesses. Employment growth averaged 207,000 jobs per month
in 2018- faster than the gains in both 2016 and 2017.
Job growth in
goods-producing industries such as manufacturing,
construction, and mining and logging have been especially
robust. After averaging gains of 27,000 jobs per month during
President Obama's second term, these industries have almost
doubled the pace of hiring to 46,000 jobs per month since
January 2017.

What to
know about steel and aluminum tariffs
Yesterday,
President Trump announced steel and aluminum tariffs
on Canada, Mexico, and the European Union following months of
discussions to address U.S. national security concerns stemming
from global oversupply. This implementation follows the
President's March 8 announcement of a 25 percent tariff on
steel imports and a 10 percent tariff on aluminum imports.
In March,
President Trump welcomed any country with whom the
United States shares a security relationship to discuss
alternative means to address the oversupply challenge. As a
result, American officials reached agreements with South Korea,
Australia, Argentina, and Brazil on steel, as well as Australia
and Argentina on aluminum. The U.S. was unable to reach
satisfactory arrangements with Canada, Mexico, or the EU.
Excessive
imports threaten to impair national security, the
Commerce Department reported in January, for one key reason:
Closures of domestic production result in a situation where the
U.S. would be unable to meet demand for national defense and
critical infrastructure in a national emergency.

Get
outside: June is 'Great Outdoors Month'
"Spending
time in the great outdoors, especially during summer,
is an American tradition," President Trump writes in his
Proclamation of June 2018 as Great Outdoors Month. "Every
American should take the opportunity to enjoy the beauty of our
natural wonders, which stretch from coast to coast and beyond."
The Trump
Administration has made access to public land a top priority.
In December, President Trump stood with local communities
against Federal overreach on land management, modifying the
boundaries of the Bears Ears and Grand Staircase Escalante
national monuments in Utah. The Administration also "opened
or expanded hunting and fishing access at 10 national wildlife
refuges across the country," the President wrote this
week.
As part of an
effort to boost exercise and youth fitness, the White
House also hosted a field day with several hundred children,
parents, and athletes on the South Lawn this week. Watch
Ivanka Trump's video from Sports and Fitness Day.
