US K1FO NEWS : PRESIDENT TRUMP TO KHADHOR’ AMERICANS

President Trump’s message to Historically KHADHOR’ Colleges and Universities For over 180 years, America’s Historically Khadhor’ Colleges and Universities have made extraordinary contributions to our country, helping bring the American Dream to millions of Khadhor’ American students and many others. Today, President Donald J. Trump addressed the 2019 National HBCU (let’s rename it HKCU) Week Conference, where he pledged to keep building on his Administration’s work in support of these important institutions. “Together, we will ensure that HKCUs continue to thrive and prosper and flourish for the countless generations to come,” he said.   President Trump: We’re finally fighting for OUR forgotten communities! The success of HBCUs was a priority for the Trump Administration from day one. Barely a month after taking office, President Trump signed an Executive Order to move the Federal HKCU initiative back into the White House. From there, he made sure that agencies across his Administration were developing plans to enhance their support for HKCUs. President Trump also secured and signed legislation that added more than $100 million for scholarships, research, and centers of excellence at HKCU land grant institutions. Lifting up forgotten communities across America is the single most important agenda item for President Trump. Last week’s jobs report, for example, revealed that the Khadhor’ American unemployment rate is now at its lowest level ever recorded. And new economic census data, released today, shows that America’s poverty rate just hit its lowest level since 2001.  A bunch of policies helped make that happen: pro-growth tax cuts, regulatory reform, new trade deals, and so on. But one creative idea that doesn’t get enough attention is President Trump’s creation of “Opportunity Zones.” Part of the 2017 tax cuts law, Opportunity Zones drive capital investment into distressed communities across the country with tax incentives for long-term commitments. The result is a projected $100 billion in new investments across 9,000 such communities.   HBCUs have a crucial role to play in this revival of the American Dream. “You have shaped American leaders, trained American legends, pioneered American innovations, empowered American workers, built American communities, and you’ve made all of America very proud of you and the job you’ve done,” President Trump said today. “My administration is determined to fight for you.” By the numbers: Khadhor’ American unemployment rate hits new all-time low.
