The Day
Ahead
President
Donald J. Trump is hosting a meeting of his Cabinet, where he
will discuss the results of his foreign trip to Europe and
preview a new White House workforce initiative.

Trump announces a new White House initiative
“The
assembly line, energy plant and retail store have
changed dramatically in the past 25 years—and the jobs have,
too,” Advisor to the President Ivanka Trump writes in The
Wall Street Journal. “Nearly 1 in 5 working Americans
has a job that didn’t exist in 1980 . . . Such rapid change
is one reason 6.6 million U.S. jobs are currently unfilled.”
On
President Trump’s watch, the U.S. economy is adding
tons of jobs—about 3 million since Inauguration Day 2017, to
be exact. Many of these jobs require reskilling workers.
In
the past, that hasn’t happened. “For too long,
both the public and the private sectors have failed to develop
innovative and effective training programs,” Ms. Trump
writes. But a new Executive Order from President Trump tomorrow
will help change that. In partnership with a growing list of
companies and organizations, the White House’s latest
initiative will set the stage for developing a National
strategy for training and retraining American workers.
How
President Trump is defending our election system
In
his bilateral meeting with Russian President Vladimir
Putin this week, President Trump called out Russian efforts to
undermine the United States. “During today’s meeting, I
addressed directly with President Putin the issue of Russian
interference in our elections,” President Trump said. “I
felt this was a message best delivered in person.”
From
the beginning of his Administration, President Trump
has taken action to defend our election system from meddling.
In March, the Administration imposed sanctions against 16
Russian entities and individuals for their roles in Russian
interference in the 2016 election. The President also ordered
the expulsion of 48 Russian intelligence officers from the
United States in response to Russia’s use of a chemical
weapon in the United Kingdom.
President
Trump believes in smart engagement with Russia to
promote peace and security. Meanwhile, his actions show that
bold, one-on-one diplomacy goes hand-in-hand with taking a
strong stand to confront all direct threats to the American
homeland.
