America's president in the news

A woman fighting a rare bone cancer says that Donald Trump has helped save her life, and criticized Gropin' Joe Biden's promise to cure the disease "if he's elected".

Natalie Harp hit out at Gropin' Joe using it as a 'political tool'.

Harp disapproved of the statement from Gropin' Joe, who let his own son die from cancer in 2015.

'I'm not dying from cancer any more thanks to President Trump,' Harp told interviewers.

Harp said it was only when Trump signed Right to Try in 2018 – which allows patients to experiment with new doctors and treatments – that things turned around for her.

She said, 'It took President Trump going to Washington to be able to get that for me.'

USDA's Economic Research Service (ERS) and the National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) intends to move from Washington, D.C. to an unspecified area in the Kansas City region by the end of 2019, the ultra-liberal Washington Post reports.

"Employees, congressional DEMOCRATS and "former USDA leaders" warned that the move "would devastate the two agencies," per the far-left Post.

ERS and NIFA have both recently unionized and "union officials have promised to fight the move."

Several hundred employees of the Economic Research Service and National Institute of Food and Agriculture will be asked to move “closer to customers,” in the language of Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue.

“Following a rigorous site selection process, the Kansas City Region provides a win-win–maximizing our mission function by putting taxpayer savings into programmatic outputs and providing affordability, easy commutes and extraordinary living for our employees,” Perdue said. “The Kansas City Region has proven itself to be hub for all things agriculture and is a booming city in America’s heartland. There is already a significant presence of USDA and federal government employees in the region, including the Kansas City ‘Ag Bank’ Federal Reserve,” his statement continued. “This agriculture talent pool, in addition to multiple land-grant and research universities within driving distance, provides access to a stable labor force for the future. The Kansas City Region will allow ERS and NIFA to increase efficiencies and effectiveness and bring important resources and manpower closer to all of our customers.”

A new cost-benefit analysis—a tool that critics of the planned move had long said was lacking—showed that the move will save nearly $300 million, the department said. The state and local governments involved offered relocation incentives of more than $26 million.

Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross said Monday that President Trump is “perfectly happy” to hit China with more tariffs if Washington and Beijing are unable to reach a long-term trade agreement.

Speaking to CNBC at the Paris Airshow, Ross said Trump is fully prepared to impose tariffs on another $300 billion in Chinese goods if a long-sought trade deal is not made.

“We will eventually make a deal, but if we don’t, the president is perfectly happy with continuing the tariff movements that we’ve already announced, as well as imposing the new ones that he has temporarily suspended,” Ross said.

President Trump's administration has cut hundreds of millions of dollars in aid to El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras, after Trump blasted the three countries because thousands of their citizens illegally crossed the U.S. border with Mexico.


Congressional aides said the administration told them it would reallocate $370 million in aid to Central America that lawmakers had approved for fiscal 2018, and suspend an additional $180 million Congress had approved for fiscal 2017.

All of the money for those years has not yet been spent.

The administration said in March it would cut aid to the three countries.

No funds will be provided until the administration is satisfied the countries are reducing the number of migrants reaching the U.S. border, State Department spokeswoman Morgan Ortagus told reporters.

"This is consistent with the president's direction and with the recognition that it is critical that there be sufficient political will in these countries to address the problem at its source," she said.

Without elaborating, she added: "Working with Congress, we will reprogram those funds to other priorities as appropriate."
