As the United States prepares to celebrate its 250th anniversary, White House Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles, announced on Wednesday (January 21) that President Trump will kick off his highly anticipated weekly nationwide tour.
Trump will return to Iowa next Tuesday, which is not only a political stronghold for him but also the starting point where he personally launched the “250th Anniversary of the Nation” celebration. This move signifies a shift in the government’s focus back to domestic economy after achieving a series of significant diplomatic victories, aiming to directly address the cost of living for American families.
Wiles, en route to Davos, Switzerland, informed reporters that Trump’s speech in Iowa will focus on economic and energy issues. She also mentioned that Cabinet officials will increase domestic travel in the coming months.
Over the past year, the Trump administration has demonstrated effective international action, creating a safer external environment for the United States, which is seen as the cornerstone of stable economic growth.
Preventing Eight Wars:
Utilizing America’s strong strategic deterrence and the “Strength for Peace” strategy, Trump, within a year of returning to the White House, has successfully mediated, prevented, or eased eight international conflicts globally. In his speech at the Davos Forum, he pointed out that these diplomatic achievements for peace have eliminated global economic uncertainties, clearing obstacles for domestic economic development.
Promoting Russia-Ukraine Peace:
Under Trump’s push, a historic breakthrough has been made in ending the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Trump stated at the Davos Forum on Wednesday (January 21) that the parties are “reasonably close” to reaching an agreement and are expected to hold a crucial meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Thursday. This U.S.-led peace process will effectively stabilize global energy and food prices.
Eliminating Transnational Threats and Defending Territory:
Trump decisively took action by capturing Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro, disrupting drug chains that threaten the United States. Simultaneously, through promoting the “Board of Peace” and enhancing focus on strategic locations like Greenland, Trump is reshaping America’s energy security map to ensure a competitive advantage in future resource competitions.
Trump has chosen to bypass media filters, engaging directly with voters to ensure the implementation of “America First” economic policies.
First Stop in Iowa:
This visit will focus on agricultural economics and energy independence. Trump plans to eliminate more environmental regulations that restrain farm owners and promote policies to reduce agricultural production costs.
People-Centered Economic Plans:
Trump recently proposed several groundbreaking economic initiatives, including mandating a maximum credit card interest rate of 10%. This measure is seen as a direct challenge to large financial institutions, aiming to return profits to hardworking American consumers but facing opposition from the banking sector.
Housing and Loan Support:
In a bid to tackle high housing prices, Trump instructed Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to purchase $200 billion in mortgage bonds. This measure aims to bypass cumbersome financial intermediaries, directly reducing mortgage rates for ordinary families.
In addition to the President’s personal deployments, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy and EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin have been frequenting the Midwest. During their visits to Detroit and Ohio, they explicitly expressed support for Michigan and Ohio’s autoworkers by advocating for the abolition of outdated regulations that inflate car prices, enabling “Made in America” to regain price competitiveness.
