President Donald J. Trump and his administration have been working tirelessly to deliver major victories for the American people, with his cabinet playing a crucial role in driving these successes. Here are some notable achievements from the cabinet this week:
The Department of Energy recently granted a liquefied natural gas (LNG) permit extension for the Golden Pass LNG Terminal in Texas, marking the Department’s second LNG approval under President Trump’s administration. This decision comes after President Trump reversed the Biden Administration’s ban on LNG exports, showcasing his commitment to restoring America’s energy dominance.
In a significant development, the Department of Energy and the Department of the Interior came together with over 1,000 energy workers in Louisiana to announce an $18 billion investment by American LNG exporter Venture Global into the Plaquemines LNG export facility. This investment was made possible by President Trump’s energy policies, highlighting the administration’s efforts to bolster the energy sector and create jobs.
The Department of Justice made headlines by arresting the ISIS-K terrorist responsible for orchestrating the tragic deaths of 13 U.S. service members at Abbey Gate. Additionally, the Department of Justice apprehended two illegal immigrants accused of running one of the largest human smuggling rings in the country, demonstrating the administration’s commitment to upholding law and order.
On the international front, the Department of State designated the Iran-backed Houthis as a Foreign Terrorist Organization following an executive order by President Trump earlier this year. Furthermore, the Department of State announced visa restrictions on foreign officials aiding illegal immigration into the United States and international students linked to terrorist organizations like Hamas.
The Department of Homeland Security revealed that illegal border crossings in February plummeted to the lowest levels ever recorded, down significantly from the previous year. This decline underscores the administration’s efforts to secure the border and enforce immigration laws effectively.
In a move honoring a World War I hero, the Department of Defense renamed Fort Moore, Georgia, as “Fort Benning,” paying tribute to the bravery and sacrifice of our military personnel. Additionally, the Department of the Treasury suspended enforcement of burdensome reporting requirements that had imposed unnecessary red tape on small businesses, a decision welcomed by the National Federation of Independent Business.
The Department of Health and Human Services took action to protect American children from irreversible chemical and surgical mutilation, while the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention launched a tool to detail conflicts of interest among vaccine advisory committee members. Furthermore, federal grants to Columbia University were canceled over concerns of anti-Semitism, underscoring the administration’s commitment to combating discrimination.
Across various departments, initiatives were undertaken to enhance public transportation safety, secure critical energy infrastructure, extend foreclosure relief, terminate non-mission-critical contracts, and save taxpayer dollars by canceling wasteful grants. The Small Business Administration also implemented reforms to prioritize American citizens, including requiring citizenship verification on loan applications and relocating offices from “sanctuary cities.”
These achievements underscore the Trump administration’s dedication to delivering tangible results for the American people and advancing key priorities across multiple sectors. As the cabinet continues to drive progress, the impact of these victories will be felt across the nation, setting the stage for a brighter future for all Americans.
