Ivanka Trump in Steel Country
Throughout
the past month, President Donald J. Trump’s Pledge
to America’s Workers has been earning commitments from
companies in every corner of the country. Ivanka Trump has helped
lead the charge, visiting factories, schools, and training
facilities in Illinois, Iowa, and elsewhere—often at the
President’s side.
In
Pittsburgh yesterday, Ms. Trump met the Girls
of Steel robotics team and saw the Peregrine, a new lunar
lander that will return America to the Moon. Last week in
Illinois, she laid out the Administration’s plan of action.
“Right
now, we come second to Mexico in—not just the public,
but—the private sector’s investment in American workers after
the age of 22,” she told students and local leaders in Godfrey,
Illinois. “So we’ve called upon the private sector to partner
with us and to sign, what we call, our Pledge to America’s
Workers.” More than 4.2 million new opportunities have been
created from the Pledge to date.
Preparing
America’s workers for both the jobs of today and tomorrow is
a top priority for President Trump. That’s why the
Administration, in particular Ivanka, recently helped secure
passage of the Perkins Career and Technical Education Act, which
authorizes more than $1 billion in funding for workforce
development programs.
The
big picture:
“U.S. Workers Get Biggest Pay Increase in Nearly a Decade”
Bringing home every lost American soldier
Kelly
McKeague, Director of the Defense POW and MIA Accounting
Agency, addressed reporters at yesterday’s White House press
briefing on the Trump Administration’s effort to bring home
American heroes who have been lost at war.
This
month’s homecoming of the remains of Korean War veterans was
“a poignant manifestation of the commitments secured by
President Trump and pledged by Chairman Kim at the Singapore
Summit,” Director McKeague said. “For the families of the
7,700 still unaccounted for from the Korean War, this first step
in fulfilling this commitment has undoubtedly provided a seed of
hope.”
The
Administration is keeping in close touch with these families.
Last week, more than 700 such family members gathered in
Arlington, Virginia, to receive updates from the government. “They
were resoundingly appreciative of the successful advocacy of the
President,” Director McKeague said.
