The reviews for President Trump’s U.S.-Mexico trade deal are in
The success of President Donald J. Trump’s preliminary trade deal with Mexico is clear from the broad support it’s attracted. Following this week’s announcement, the U.S. stock market reached record highs, while everyone from business leaders to labor unions praised the agreement’s stronger terms for American products and American workers.
The S&P 500 and NASDAQ climbed to all-time highs following Monday’s announcement. And it wasn’t just the U.S. stock market that responded positively: Global markets took off as well. According to Reuters, “a global stocks index advanced to more than five-month highs on Tuesday,” clearly buoyed by investor optimism. “Indexes across Europe and Asia followed Wall Street’s lead, inching to multi-month highs.”
As promised by President Trump, American workers stand to gain by renegotiating trade deals on the world stage. Christian Science Monitor had this to say about delivering on that promise: “A new United States-Mexico deal could end up doing something novel for an international trade agreement: putting concerns of workers near the center of the accord.
A historic moment: Presidential descendants visit the White House
This week, President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump hosted the first-ever White House Historical Association’s “Presidential Sites Summit.” Leaders from more than 100 Presidential sites across the country were in Washington, D.C., to honor our national traditions.
To keep history alive, Presidential descendants gathered for the summit and shared personal stories. The families of past Presidents serve a vital role in reconnecting with our country’s rich heritage. In The Daily Caller, Katie Jerkovich wrote that “the summit brought more than 40 presidential descendants of former Presidents of the United States — all the way back to James Monroe — together for the first time ever.”
“Congratulations to @WhiteHouseHstry on a successful #PresidentialSites Summit. It was great hosting you at the @WhiteHouse,” the First Lady tweeted.
