The Day
Ahead
President
Donald J. Trump will meet with the President of the European
Commission to discuss fairer trade deals that strengthen America’s
farmers and manufacturers.
‘We
don’t apologize for America anymore’
President
Trump promised to make honoring our veterans one of the top
priorities of his Administration. Part of that promise means
restoring American patriotism. “We don’t apologize for America
anymore. We stand up for America,” the President told the
Veterans of Foreign Wars national convention yesterday in
Missouri.
“And
we stand up for our National Anthem,” the President said to
a thundering ovation.
Another
part of that promise is making sure that our veterans receive
the best healthcare in the world. That begins by holding the VA
system accountable for misconduct and poor performance. Last June,
President Trump signed the VA Accountability and Whistleblower
Protection Act into law, making it easier to discipline bad
actors, including senior executives.
The
VA took more than 3,200 accountability actions—which include
removals, suspensions, and demotions—from the beginning of the
Trump Administration through the end this May. All told, those
actions resulted in more than 2,500 removals from the system.
Religious
persecution in Iran and China must end
Around
the world, religious minorities are persecuted and stripped of
human rights, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo wrote yesterday. “We
need to hear the stories of those persecuted, tortured, falsely
imprisoned, and killed for their faith. We can honor their
sacrifices by preventing these atrocities from happening again,”
he writes.
President
Trump is taking action. This week, the State Department is
bringing together religious leaders, survivors of persecution, and
delegations from foreign governments for the first-ever
Ministerial to Advance Religious Freedom. Vice President Mike
Pence and other senior Administration officials will be in
attendance.
The
goal is simple: to promote the God-given human right to
believe what you choose.
