Washington, DC - On Friday, December 20, 2019, the President signed into law:

Washington, DC - My mission is to put our country on the very best footing to thrive, excel, compete, and to win.

Washington, DC - Today, I have signed into law S. 1790, the “National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020” (the “Act”).  The Act authorizes fiscal year 2020 appropriations for Department of Defense (DOD) national security programs, provides vital equipment modernization for our military branches, a well‑deserved pay raise for our service members, 12 weeks of paid parental leave to all Federal civilian employees, and, most significantly, authorizes the creation of the 6th Branch of the Armed Services, the United States Space Force as an Armed Force within the Department of the Air Force.  I applaud both the Senate and House Armed Services Committees for their work on the bill and the leadership of both chambers for securing its passage.  I note, however, that the Act includes several provisions that raise constitutional concerns.

Washington, DC - The government funding bills I just signed into law contain big victories for my Administration and the American people.  They enable us to continue to advance our pro-growth, pro-worker, pro-family, America First agenda.

Washington, DC - America’s Armed Forces are more powerful than ever and growing even stronger.

Washington, DC - December 22 marks 2 years since President Donald J. Trump signed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA). TCJA’s pro-growth reforms of individual and corporate taxes were the largest tax cut in United States history. Additionally, since TCJA’s passage, United States multinational enterprises have repatriated $1 trillion in past overseas earnings that were previously invested abroad.
