The Day Ahead
President
Donald J. Trump will sign the National Defense Authorization Act
for the next fiscal year. Watch
live at 2:30 p.m. ET.
Rebuilding America’s ‘unmatched power’
Restoring
our national security is a core piece of President Trump’s
agenda to reinvigorate America. Today, that promise is being kept
as the President signs the National Defense Authorization Act
(NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2019.
The
NDAA enhances the President’s ability to help protect the Nation
by authorizing $716 billion in funding for defense and military
activities. This unprecedented support will help to deter our
adversaries and maintain the Trump Administration’s policy of
peace through strength. The NDAA also fulfills the President’s
request to give our troops a much-deserved pay raise.
The
NDAA also strengthens our support for allies. In reinforcing
our bond with Israel, it authorizes the co-development and
co-production of missile defense systems. The NDAA also bolsters
our support for European allies against Russian aggression by
funding the European Deterrence Initiative.
“In
confronting these dangers, we know that weakness is the surest
path to conflict, and unmatched power is the surest means of our
defense,” President Trump says addressing his national security
policy.
Tax cuts have unleashed America’s economic potential
Many
Americans enjoyed tax-free shopping this weekend. This sales
tax holiday gave many working families a break on items such as
clothing and school supplies.
In
the wake of President Trump’s tax cuts, Americans are seeing
more money in their paychecks. Harriet Torry recently wrote in The
Wall Street Journal that “U.S. workers received their
biggest pay increases in nearly a decade,” according to the
Department of Labor.
The
American economy is also reaching new heights as we saw GDP
growth of 4.1 percent in the second quarter. The President’s
pro-growth economic agenda is delivering exactly what it promised.
“My Administration remains very focused on the issues that will
encourage economic growth—that’s what we’re all about,”
President Trump said.
