Vice President Pence in Panama

The Vice President said: the Panama Canal expansion has resulted in billions of dollars of investment in the United States, creating god-payng jobs for our people in manufacturing and transportation and agriculture, and ports across America are growing. In President Donald Trump, I think, the United States once again have a President whose vision, energy, and can-do spirit is reminiscent of President Teddy Roosevelt. We have a President who understands, in his words, “A nation is only living as long as it is striving.” I believe that one of the greatest opportunities before us is to build on the legacy of trade that made the last 100 years so historic for this Hemisphere. The Panama Canal is an enduring testament to the power of commerce to transform fortunes and shape the futures of nations. Published on Aug. 21, 2017 by The White House

President Trump Visits U.S. Customs and Border Protection Facility in Yuma, AZ

President Donald Trump visited border patrol facilities near the frontier with Mexico in the southwestern U.S. state of Arizona. The trip Tuesday to Yuma came as Trump has struggled to obtain congressional approval to fund his long-promised additions to the border wall, which already exists in some parts of the U.S. Southwest. While in Yuma, he toured a U.S. Customs and Border Protection facility to see equipment used for surveillance and detection of border crossings, and held a closed-door briefing with local staff. Early Tuesday, officials from the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees border protection and immigration enforcement, highlighted Yuma’s success in reducing the number of crossings in recent years. video published by The White House on Aug. 23, 2017
