The United States and the European Union, in line with their relevant international procedures, will promptly document the Agreement on Reciprocal, Fair, and Balanced Trade to implement this Framework Agreement.

BIG NEWS: The United States of America now owns 10% of Intel, one of our great American technology companies.

This historic agreement strengthens U.S. leadership in semiconductors, which will both grow our economy and help secure America’s technological edge.

Thanks to Intel CEO @LipBuTan1 for striking a deal that’s fair to Intel and fair to the American People.

Congratulations to @SergioGor on his appointment as U.S. Ambassador to India.

Throughout the campaign and administration, Sergio has been a fearless advocate for President Trump and the American people. We all wish him amazing success and India is in great hands.

The Art of the Deal: Intel

The current H1B visa system is a scam that lets foreign workers fill American job opportunities.

Hiring American workers should be the priority of all great American businesses. Now is the time to hire American.

The numbers are in: GDP growth has surged by 3.3%. And starting now, @CommerceGov has put America’s economic data on the blockchain for the first time ever.

Under President Trump, the economy is strong, our workers are winning, and America is leading in crypto & economic innovation.

In the mid-1980’s, our politicians began to run America into the ground with massive trade deficits.

We used to have the upper hand, but these leaders sold out our leverage, our independence, and our future.

Now, in 2025, the rest of the world owns $26.5 TRILLION more of us than we do of them. That’s not just unsustainable. That’s insane.

Thankfully, we have President Trump who recognizes the extreme danger the trade deficit creates for our long term prosperity. We’re bringing our wealth, our factories, and our power back home where they belong.
