Warren: President Donald Trump visited Michigan on Tuesday to mark the first 100 days of his new mandate with two events, including a major evening rally.
Although he underlined the first achievements of his administration, the concerns concerning the economy and its management remain high in many Americans.
Speaking briefly in a base of the National Guard, Trump praised the investments of his administration in the defense and praised the foreign policy of his first administration, from 2017 to 2021.
He said that defense secretary Pete Hegseth was doing “excellent work”, without mentioning recent disclosure that he discussed very sensitive military information with several personal knowledge.
And, in a relatively rare moment of Bipartisanat, the president caused praise to the governor of Michigan, Gretchen Whitmer, a democrat. He said that she had played a key role in “saving” the base of the Selfridge Air National Guard northeast of Detroit, where local media reported concerns about the future of the base last year.
“I have a record investment of $ 1 billion in our national defense,” said Trump, speaking before dozens of troops, as well as Whitmer and Hegseth.
During the speech, he said that the Selfridge base would receive 21 Boeing F-5X Jets. Whitmer said in a statement that the move ensured the mission of the base and was a “huge bipartite victory for Michigan” which will protect the jobs.
On Air Force One earlier Tuesday, Trump signed an order to soften the blow of his car rates with a mixture of credits and relief from other samples. Meanwhile, the American secretary in trade Howard Lutnick told CNBC that he had concluded an agreement with a foreign power, which he refused to appoint, which should definitively relieve the “reciprocal” prices that Trump plans to impose.
Trump then spoke during an evening rally in Warren, near Detroit. This event, his greatest since he assumed his functions on January 20, was an opportunity for him to boast what his administration considers his main achievements in the first months of his second non -consecutive mandate.
The event will probably also be an opportunity for the president to reassure voters of the state of politically competitive automation that he is a good economic intendant.
A three -day Reuters / Ipsos survey finished on Sunday showed that 42% of respondents have so far approved Trump’s performance, while 53% have disapproved. This is down 47% approval in the Reuters / Ipsos survey in January.
The share of respondents who approved Trump’s economic management was only 36% in the last survey, the lowest level of his current mandate or in his 2017-2021 presidency.
The fears of a recession have increased in recent weeks while Trump has launched a world trade war, hiking prices so high that economists warn that trade with certain countries – notably China – could stop almost. The movements rocked investors and businesses.
