A
celebration of America
Yesterday,
President Trump addressed a crowd gathered on the
White House South Lawn. "It is my great pleasure to
welcome everyone to the White House for this patriotic
celebration. A beautiful, beautiful day, and a beautiful
celebration," the President said.
"We love
our country. We respect our flag. And we always
proudly stand for the National Anthem. We always will stand for
the National Anthem," he continued. "So we stand
together for freedom. We stand together for patriotism. And we
proudly stand for our glorious Nation under God."
The ceremony
included performances of the Star-Spangled Banner and
God Bless America by the United States Marine Band and the
United States Army Chorus. With the full Philadelphia Eagles
football team unable to come to the White House for a
commemoration of their Super Bowl championship, President Trump
welcomed Eagles fans and others for a different kind of
celebration.

500 days
fighting the scourge of drugs
As the
Administration reached its 500-day milestone this
week, the White House is looking back at a few of the most
consequential issues that President Trump has faced early in
his term. Among the most severe crises he has confronted is
America's opioid epidemic.
The President
launched a nationwide effort to combat the opioid
crisis that concentrated on three things: reducing demand,
cutting off illicit drug supplies, and expanding treatment
opportunities. The omnibus spending bill President Trump signed
earlier this year dedicates nearly $4 billion to meeting the
epidemic head-on.
The U.S. Border
Patrol continues working to stop drug supplies before
they reach our communities, seizing more pounds of fentanyl—a
highly addictive and frequently trafficked opioid—so far in
Fiscal Year 2018 than in all of FY 2017. The Department of
Justice secured its first-ever indictments against Chinese
fentanyl manufacturers who target their drugs to American
citizens.
Five
hundred days in, President Trump continues to make our
communities safer.
