A busy day at the White House
Now 629 days since his Inauguration, President Trump continues to fight hard for the American people day in and day out. To give you an inside look at just one day’s schedule at the White House:
- Common sense reform for our music industry: President Trump signed long-awaited legislation this morning to fix outdated American music laws. The Orrin G. Hatch–Bob Goodlatte Music Modernization Act has gained widespread support throughout the industry, expected to benefit songwriters, artists, and fans alike. Through a simplified licensing system, songwriters will finally be paid the royalties they deserve. Watch today’s signing ceremony.
- The Save our Seas Act of 2018: Each year, countries the world over are responsible for dumping more than 8 million tons of garbage into our oceans. This trash and debris is not only harmful to the world’s marine life—it disrupts our fishermen and coastal economies, as well. President Trump signed legislation today to reauthorize and strengthen the Marine Debris Program.
- Ending the scourge of human trafficking: The Trump Administration is fighting to end the scourge of human trafficking, also known as modern-day slavery. Today, the President met with his Interagency Task Force to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons (PITF), a Cabinet-level entity consisting of 15 departments and agencies. The Administration is taking the fight to all fronts, and the results are piling up: Last year, the Department of Justice secured convictions against nearly 500 defendants, and the FBI dismantled 42 criminal enterprises engaged in child sex trafficking. Learn more about President Trump’s fight to end this horrific practice.
- Unprecedented access to journalists: “President Trump, already the most media-accessible president in memory, is talking to journalists almost nonstop as his successes pile up ahead of the midterm elections,” Dave Boyer of The Washington Times writes. See excerpts from the President’s phone interview this morning with Fox & Friends.
