We are taking historic action to help American workers, miners, families, and consumers. We're ending Joe Biden's war on beautiful, clean coal once and for all, and we're gonna put the miners back to work!
Today we're taking historic action to help American workers, miners, families and consumers. We're ending Joe Biden's war on beautiful clean call once and for all and we're going to put the miners back to work under the executive order that I will sign in a few moments. We're slashing unnecessary regulations that targeted the beautiful clean call. We will rapidly expedite leases for coal mining on federal land, streamline permitting. We will end the government bias against coal and we're going to unlock the sweeping authorities of the Defense Production Act to turbocharge coal mining in America. On for pound coal is the single most reliable durable secure and powerful form of energy there is on earth today. The value of untapped coal in our country is 100 times greater than the value of all the gold at Fort Knox and we're going to unleash it and make America rich and powerful again. Together we're going to tap that magnificent potential to give our people the glorious future that they deserve.

-We saw the successful negotiating strategy that President Trump implemented a week ago today. It has brought more than 75 countries forward to negotiate. It took great courage, great courage, for him to stay the course until this moment. And what we have ended up with here, as I told everyone a week ago, they are in this very spot. Do not retaliate, and you will be rewarded. So every country in the world who wants to come and negotiate, we are willing to hear you. We're gonna go down to a 10% baseline tariff for them, and China will be raised to 125 due to their insistence on escalation. I'm not calling it a trade war, but I'm saying that China has escalated, and President Trump responded very courageously to that. It signals that President Trump cares about trade and that we want to negotiate in good faith. And as I said, each one of these is going to be a separate, bespoke negotiation. So we are confident that having seen the other side of where this could go. And it was like I said last week. The market didn't understand those were maximum levels. The countries can think about those levels as they come to us to bring down their tariffs, their non-tariff trade barriers. We're gonna discuss currency manipulation, subsidy of labor, and industry.

where the Biden administration launched what you call the "War on Showers." They had certain regulations that basically killed the water pressure of showers and other water appliances. You can say it. Go ahead. What are the appliances? I mean, it's everything, sir. It speaks into a dishwasher. It's boiling. It's sick. But the shower heads are a huge thing. There's no water. You don't get water. It's ridiculous. So in this executive order, we're effectively going to be reversing that set of regulations to ensure that Americans have choice in the consumer market. If they want a low-flow shower head, they can buy one. If they want a no-deal shower head, they should have it. If you buy a new house, you pay a lot of money, and the developers, you're not allowed to do anything more. They put restrictors on. They used to have a restrictor where you could take it out, but now they weld it in, and you take a shower or wash your hands, whatever you do. Including dishwashers when no water comes out. But you wash your hands, and in my case, I like to take a nice shower to take care of my beautiful hair. I'm standing in the shower for 15 minutes 'til it gets wet. It comes out grim, grim, grim. It's ridiculous.

a very special day for a lot of reasons, actually, if you really think about it, but this is a day because Roger Penske is a great friend of mine. I've known him a long time. He received a few years ago the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest award in the country outside of the Congressional Medal of Honor, sort of the civilian version of the Congressional Medal of Honor, and I watched him win his 18th Indianapolis 500, and now I just said, "Did you win 19?" He said, "Well, actually, we won 20." He won two more since then, so that was like five years ago, and he won two more since then, and just well-deserving. If you look, Germany, Japan, the countries, they spend billions of dollars trying to win money, and I guess they do it sometimes, but not much, but he's done it 20 times, so he must know something about cars and racing, and trucks, too, by the way. He knows a lot about trucks, but he's been a very special guy, and he's brought some of our outstanding racing champions with tremendous courage and guts and grit. Hello, fellas, I didn't see you guys over there. That's a good-looking couple of teams, too. They have a lot of courage, and we'll see you in a second. So we're joined by the 2023-2024 NASCAR champion, Ryan Blaney, and Joey Logano. That's really fantastic, fellas. That's great. How fast do you get that car going? As an example, on average, how fast will you go? About 190. About 190? You can have it. I don't want to go, but 190, that's fantastic. And on a straight away, you'll go how much? About 190-200. About 190-200. Well, it takes a special genetic, you know that, right? It's genes, not only genes, really. Most people couldn't do that. Very few people could do it. The 2023-2024 Indianapolis 500 winner, Joseph Newgarden. And the 2025 champions of the 24 hours of Daytona, Felipe Nasser, Nick Tandy, and Lawrence Ventura. This is just a celebration of racing, and it's a celebration of Roger and his great success and his life, and these incredible champions who really do what very few people could do. Mentally, psychologically, it's a big factor here, like it is in all sports, really, but you need a great physical ability. People that do this, they don't realize what great athletes they are. It's just not the car. I had a friend. He was a very successful guy, but he was a driver and started off. He wanted to be a race car driver. He wanted to be like you. He wanted to be like, just like Joey Logano. And he had it for business, but he didn't have it for the -- he said, "I just couldn't compete with the good drivers." He couldn't do it, no matter what he did. And he got lucky, he went into business, made a lot of money. He was very successful. But he said, "I couldn't press the accelerated down all the way and the best drivers could." So there was just a difference. It was really -- I never forgot that story. But these are great champions, and it's a great sport. And what you've done in Indianapolis, also, with the track and everything has been incredible. I mean, it's really incredible. People tell me it's been amazing. I'll have to get there. I'm going to have to get there maybe this year with you. But -- Well, thank you very much. Thank you. We had to -- we did Daytona. We went around the track in the beast, what's called the beast, with the thick windows and the whole thing. And you're not supposed to hear anything, but I heard the fans. They were going crazy outside. So it was -- it was a great honor. So I just wanted to welcome them to the White House, a special place, very, very special place. And we love champions. And these are the greatest champions in the world. These are the greatest champions in racing, and it's an honor to have you all. And thank you very much. All of you, thank you very much. I wouldn't ride in that thing if you paid -- (laughter) How fast will that go? Two-forty-plus. Two-forty? Yeah. That's unbelievable. What a weapon. Two-time winner of the Indianapolis 500, consecutively, right? Yes, sir. So what the hell are you doing? What do you eat? (laughter) A lot of milk. A lot of milk. I'm going to take some. And that one is pure speed and endurance, right? Correct, sir. Speed and endurance. Is that car a very different car than, let's say, this one? Very different? Very different. Very different, yeah. We've got to last so many hours, and we all share the car, so three drivers. It's a totally different engine. Everything is different. Everything. And you go -- is it 24 hours? Yeah. It's been a long time. And that car just -- there's no let-up. There's no -- it's just constant, right? That's fantastic. Congratulations. That's endurance. Endurance is a big factor in life and success, I can tell you. So you guys have it. Well, thank you very much.

Based on the lack of respect that China has shown to the Worldâs Markets, I am hereby raising the Tariff charged to China by the United States of America to 125%, effective immediately. At some point, hopefully in the near future, China will realize that the days of ripping off the U.S.A., and other Countries, is no longer sustainable or acceptable. Conversely, and based on the fact that more than 75 Countries have called Representatives of the United States, including the Departments of Commerce, Treasury, and the USTR, to negotiate a solution to the subjects being discussed relative to Trade, Trade Barriers, Tariffs, Currency Manipulation, and Non Monetary Tariffs, and that these Countries have not, at my strong suggestion, retaliated in any way, shape, or form against the United States, I have authorized a 90 day PAUSE, and a substantially lowered Reciprocal Tariff during this period, of 10%, also effective immediately. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

This is a GREAT time to move your COMPANY into the United States of America, like Apple, and so many others, in record numbers, are doing. ZERO TARIFFS, and almost immediate Electrical/Energy hook ups and approvals. No Environmental Delays. DONâT WAIT, DO IT NOW!
I believe the tariffs are a good thing. I mean, it's actually going to help our industry out. It is going to bring jobs back to America. Companies will then invest their money and infrastructure in American jobs. And what comes with American jobs is energy. You need energy to support American jobs and factories. President Trump, I just would like to personally thank you for what you do for the coal industry and what you're doing to make our everyday lives better. President Trump, from the bottom of our hearts, truly, thank you for everything you have done for the coal industry and for the hardworking blue collar American person. We are truly better off today than we were under the last administration.

Iâm proud to be the President for the workers, not the outsourcers; the President who stands up for Main Street, not Wall Street; who protects the middle class, not the political class; and who defends America, not trade cheaters all over the globe.
I'm proud to be the president for the workers, not the outsources. The president who stands up from Main Street, not Wall Street, who protects the middle class, not the political class, and who defends America, not trade cheaters all over the globe. They're trade cheaters. They cheated on us. They cheated with tariffs on us. They stole our money. They stole our jobs.

Last month, we officially designated Tren de Aragua, MS-13 and the Mexican drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizationsâand thanks to the Supreme Court yesterday...we will continue to deport these monsters under the Alien Enemies Actâ¦
During the same period last year, Joe Biden released more than 184,000 illegal aliens into our country. Think of it. Many of these people were from jails and mental institutions, as I said. Since my inauguration, we've released a grand total of nine, nine, nine. And they were all, in all cases, medical emergencies. We did that for medical emergency reasons last month. We officially designated Trende Aragua MS-13 and the Mexican drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations. And thanks to the Supreme Court yesterday, and today we had a big ruling, too. We had a very big ruling today. But we will continue to deport these monsters under the Alien Enemies Act. of that alien enemies act. Can you believe it?

Thank you. Thank you very much. President Trump, I'm here and I'm alive. President Trump, you saved my life. You saved the life of 33 hostages that because of your efforts and you're setting the hostage crisis at the high priority of what you're doing among all of the enormous issues and things that you're dealing with since you came into your position as President of the United States. You set the hostage crisis at the highest priority. You got 33 of us home alive. We all owe our lives to you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

I've been in hell for 498 days. I've been held in hell with Hamas terrorist. When we didn't see the light but we feel when we heard President Trump get elected we knew we knew there is now someone who makes the things happen. We need we need it. I'm sorry about my English. I am half Argentinian, half Israeli. I'm sorry. We knew we need someone who do the things. That's President Trump. We are here because of President Trump. Thank you. Thank you for your efforts.

I hope he can sit with us in the Seder in of Passover and wow it's overwhelming. I I just want to tell you again thank you. Thank you very much.
