President Trump signs law that delivers for American workers
President
Trump has made closing the skills gap a top priority. Today,
he will sign the Perkins CTE Act into law, which provides crucial
funding toward training programs for American students and
workers.
Perkins
CTE provides more than $1 billion each year to states for
vocational and career-focused education programs. These programs,
tailored toward secondary and post-secondary students, will help
employers fill the high-skill jobs of tomorrow. This funding is
key: 94% of high school students participate in Career and
Technical Education courses and programs in some form.
Congress
achieved a major bipartisan win last week when both parties
came together to pass this bill after years of stalled efforts.
The White House, led by Ivanka Trump, brought a renewed focus to
modernizing the program. “Manufacturers are encouraged to have
partners in the White House like the president and Ivanka Trump
who are laser-focused on worker training,” National Association
of Manufacturers President Jay Timmons said.

World leader: President ‘is a great negotiator’
Italian
Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte visited Washington yesterday,
meeting with President Trump to discuss terrorism, trade,
migration, and the importance of reinvesting in NATO.
“Both
the Prime Minister and I are focused on the urgent need to
protect our nations from terrorism and uncontrolled migration,”
President Trump said. “Like the United States, Italy is
currently under enormous strain as a result of illegal
immigration. . . . The Prime Minister and I are united in our
conviction that strong nations must have strong borders.”
The
bottom line, summed up by Prime Minister Conte: “You have a
President who is a strong supporter and advocate of the interests
of the American people and the American country. He's a great
negotiator.”
