Trump Announces Billions In New Investments!

BOLSTERING AMERICAN MINING: Today, President Donald J. Trump held a historic roundtable with the mining industry where he announced over $2 billion in critical mining and mining-related projects to revitalize the industry and over $180 million in mining school investments to bolster the American mining workforce.  The Department of War is investing over $85 million into Standard Bauxite to secure the supply chain of refractory-grade bauxite to support manufacturing of high-temperature-resistant materials used to make critical components for our warfighters and essential to the modern industrial economy. The Department of War is investing $150 million into Niron Magnetics, a Minnesota company developing and producing 100% domestic, rare earth-free permanent magnets to support the defense industrial base and help eliminate dependency on foreign-produced rare earth magnets.  The Department of War is investing $1.4 billion into Sila Nanotechnologies, a California-based manufacturer, to expand production of silicon-carbon battery anodes and buildout a lithium-ion battery cell manufacturing facility to strengthen the supply chains of satellite operations, unmanned aerial systems, and munitions. The Department of War is investing $400 million into Sunrise Energy Metals to develop a full scandium value chain, including the world’s first primary scandium mine, to help secure the supply chain of high-heat aluminum alloys which are used in fighter jets and spacecraft.  The Export-Import Bank is investing $8 million into 5E Advanced Materials, a California-based company to develop a boron deposit, a key component of permanent magnets, semiconductors, and glass.   The Export-Import Bank is investing $25 million into Westwater Resources in Alabama to develop the Coosa Graphite Deposit to support domestic battery manufacturing.  The Export-Import Bank is investing $25 million into Global Advanced Materials in Pennsylvania for tantalum and niobium to support electronic, magnet, and steel production.  The Development Finance Corporation is matching a $4.8 million investment into Harena Rare Earths to develop a rare earth mine in Madagascar to secure vital inputs for American manufacturing, such as magnet metal and rare earths.  The Department of Energy is investing $100 million into America’s 14 mining schools to revitalize the next-generation workforce double the number of graduates with mining, minerals, and associated supply chain credentials. The Department of War is investing over $80 million into three schools for major workforce development programs and technology innovation hubs to train the next generation of geologists, metallurgists, and mining engineers.

PRIORITIZING DOMESTIC CRITICAL MATERIALS AND THEIR SUPPLY CHAINS: President Trump is ensuring America’s critical materials and critical supply chains are robust and secure to reduce reliance on hostile foreign countries, protect our national security, and strengthen the economic resilience of vital industries. Critical materials build and power the modern world from cars to military weaponry and factory machinery to smartphones and computers. It is vital that the United States have sufficient and secure mining, processing, refining, manufacturing, and recycling to reduce reliance on foreign countries. These investments help mitigate and reverse critical supply chain vulnerabilities, bolster U.S. industrial resilience against geopolitical disruptions, and ensure that the defense industrial base and next-generation technologies are powered by secure and domestically sourced components. Additionally, America cannot restore its industrial competitiveness and rebuild its critical mineral supply chain without rebuilding the workforce that powers it. For decades, the nation's critical mineral supply chain has steadily contracted despite a rapid increase in demand for critical minerals. This historic roundtable was the largest meeting of industry leaders and the President in over 120 years. No other President has supported American mining more than President Trump.

RESTORING AMERICAN INDUSTRY: President Trump’s leadership is restoring America’s mining industry and national and economic security, ensuring reliable supplies of critical materials and supply chains. President Trump campaigned on the promise to rebuild and reshore American industry, emphasizing the need to restore its strength and security after years of neglect.  Since January 2025, the Trump Administration has signed or approved 160 minerals deals totaling almost $40B, creating American jobs and securing our critical materials sectors. President Trump has utilized Section 232 to protect and strengthen domestic manufacturing critical for our national and economic security, including imposing tariffs and directing negotiations with trading partners covering a variety of goods, including steel, aluminum, copper, trucks and automobiles, timber, lumber, semiconductors, critical minerals, and pharmaceuticals. These actions strengthen these essential U.S. industries and the U.S. industrial base, ensure domestic producers and workers can compete on a level playing field, protect American jobs, and bolster American national security. In March 2025, President Trump signed an Executive Order boosting American mineral production, streamline permitting, and enhance national security. In April 2025, President Trump signed a historic Executive Order restoring American dominance in offshore critical minerals and resources. In October 2025, President Trump directed his Administration promptly issuing authorizations necessary for the establishment of the Ambler Road Project. This project will provide road transportation access to the Ambler Mining District. In January 2026, President Trump signed an Executive Order addressing the threatened impairment of national security with respect to imports of processed critical minerals and their derivative products (PCMDPs). In May 2026, U.S. manufacturing grew at its fastest rate in four years, its fifth straight month of expansion — nearly tripling expectations. President Trump’s America First trade policies continue to deliver and strengthen the economy and national security of the United States. In July 2026, President Trump signed an Executive Order to secure America’s defense supply chains for the cutting-edge equipment that allows the U.S. to dominate the modern battlefield, particularly, ensuring domestic supplies of the critical materials and components necessary to manufacture that equipment. In July 2026, President Trump signed a Presidential Determination delegating authority under the Defense Production Act to institute export restrictions on recoverable critical minerals and materials (CMMs).

Trump Jawboning Private Sector On Prices

President Donald J. Trump inherited an economy battered by years of inflation that crushed working families. Through bold action to restore American energy dominance, slash red tape, and secure fair trade, the Trump Administration is quickly rebuilding the foundation for lasting prosperity.   That leadership is producing results. Across the country, private sector companies are responding to President Trump’s call by delivering tangible price reductions on everyday goods and services — putting money back in the pockets of American workers and families.

Groceries and Everyday Essentials Major retailers are cutting prices on staples that hit household budgets hardest — putting real money back in the pockets of American families. Giant Eagle reduced prices by an average of more than 10% on over 300 top products, including proteins, produce, and pantry favorites. Walmart lowered prices on thousands of everyday items nationwide, including ground beef, fresh corn, paper plates, beverages, and more. Sam’s Club cut prices on more than 250 household essentials. Meijer reduced prices on more than 1,000 popular grocery and household items on a rotating basis. Target reduced prices on thousands of groceries, household items, and other essentials. Kroger is planning its biggest price cuts in years on thousands of items. Albertsons accelerated targeted price reductions and launched its “New Lower Price” program, cutting base prices by at least 8% or $1 on items across meat, seafood, dairy, pantry staples, and other goods. H-E-B dropped prices on thousands of items across its stores. C&S Wholesale Grocers slashed prices on thousands of everyday items at Family Fare, VG’s Grocery, Martin’s Super Markets, and Piggly Wiggly locations across eight Midwestern states. Stop & Shop lowered prices on thousands of items across nearly every department in hundreds of stores throughout the Northeast. Cub Foods reduced prices by about 40% on dozens of grocery items across its Midwestern locations. Piggly Wiggly Food for Less cut prices on meat and other staples across its 14 stores. Costco dropped prices for many of its most popular Kirkland Signature items across multiple categories. PepsiCo lowered retail prices by up to 15% on major snack brands.

Prescription Drugs President Trump’s Most Favored Nation approach is delivering historic cuts to prescription drug prices, with 17 of the world’s largest drugmakers agreeing to bring U.S. prices in line with the lowest paid by comparable developed nations. Novo Nordisk slashed prices on Ozempic and Wegovy to as low as $199–$350 per month and reduced the price of common insulin treatments by 75% through TrumpRx. Pfizer offered average savings of 50% (up to 85%) on primary care treatments and select brands via TrumpRx. Amgen lowered prices on cholesterol drug Repatha, migraine drug Aimovig, and arthritis treatment Amjevita by 60–80%. Eli Lilly lowered the price of migraine treatment Emgality by approximately 60% and diabetes treatment Trulicity by approximately 61%. Multiple additional manufacturers — including Merck, AstraZeneca, Bristol Myers Squibb, Gilead, Sanofi, GSK, EMD Serono, Johnson & Johnson, AbbVie, Regeneron, Boehringer Ingelheim, Genentech, and Novartis — agreed to cut prices on key drugs, with discounts reaching 50–85% on many medicines.

Energy Key energy providers and local networks are delivering targeted savings that lower costs for consumers. The Freedom Fuel Network — a coalition of 25 gas stations across the greater Philadelphia area — lowered prices by approximately 50 cents per gallon. Georgia Power is lowering rates for residential customers by $50/year, delivering total savings of nearly $300 million for all customers. Alliant Energy implemented a five-year rate freeze for residential customers in Iowa. NiSource is set to return $1.4 billion to customers in Indiana through agreements with Amazon and Alphabet. Entergy is set to return $2 billion to customers in Mississippi through an agreement with Amazon. DTE Energy announced it will pause electric rate increases for at least two years.

Automobiles American automakers are making vehicles more affordable for hardworking families. Ford extended employee pricing to all U.S. customers. Stellantis offered buyers 0% financing and deferred monthly payments for 90 days. Chevrolet revived its classic “Heartbeat of America” campaign, offering 90 days of deferred monthly payments and multi-year 0% APR financing options.

Governor MIA During NJ Power Outages, Storms!

As thousands of New Jersey families remain without electricity following this weekend's severe storms, many spent the holiday weekend enduring extreme heat with no air conditioning, refrigeration, or, in some communities, even running water. Throughout the crisis, Governor Mikie Sherrill was largely missing in action and has yet to demonstrate the urgency the situation demands.

While local first responders, utility crews, emergency management officials, and municipal leaders continue working around the clock to restore power and clear storm damage, Republicans have urged the Governor's Office to declare a State of Emergency.

Such a declaration would help expedite resources, strengthen coordination between emergency agencies, provide access to additional mutual aid, and position New Jersey to seek federal assistance should the damage exceed state and local capabilities.

"Families are still sitting in the dark while Governor Sherrill sits on the sidelines," said NJGOP Chairwoman Christine Giordano Hanlon. "When tens of thousands of residents lose power during dangerous heat, New Jersey deserves decisive leadership, not silence."

"The Governor shouldn't have to be prompted by legislators to take emergency action," Hanlon continued. "A State of Emergency isn't about politics. It's about getting communities the resources they need as quickly as possible. Every hour matters when families are without electricity, air conditioning, refrigeration and, in many areas, even running water."

The New Jersey Republican Party thanks the thousands of utility workers, first responders, emergency management personnel, public works employees, and volunteers who continue working tirelessly under difficult conditions to restore power and keep residents safe.

"New Jersey's local leaders are stepping up. Our first responders are stepping up. Utility crews are stepping up," Hanlon said. "Mikie Sherrill should have been stepping up, too. Instead, she was nowhere to be found while New Jersey families endured a holiday weekend without power in dangerous heat.”

The Peril Of Sherrill: Affordability? Say What?

Get this: Indiana’s Governor Mike Braun gave his state a gas tax holiday to relieve some of the pressure from rising gas prices. He cared about affordability and he's reviewing his stand in June to see what else he can do.

New Jersey's Governor, Mikie Sherrill talks affordability but does NOTHING. In fact, she even let a three cent gas tax hike go into effect and bragged that she had extra revenue, even though she pledged to freeze energy prices. Mike Braun in a Republican Mikie Sherrill is a Democrat

And that makes all the difference in the world. Indiana voters undertand this. They get it. New Jersey voters? DUH!

America Takes Lead On Energy Production, Security!

President Donald J. Trump has directed a bold and decisive U.S. naval blockade to counter Iranian aggression and restore safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz — a masterstroke of American leadership that showcases a level of power and strength the world has never before witnessed.   As this historic action unfolds, America’s record-breaking energy production is providing a critical lifeline to the world. Thanks to President Trump’s American energy dominance agenda, the U.S. stands as the world’s top energy producer and exporter — ready to supply reliable, abundant energy to nations cut off from Middle Eastern crude.

Signs of American energy leadership are immediate: As of yesterday, 167 crude tankers had declared U.S. destinations, with 103 empty vessels heading to American ports to load U.S. crude.   Of those, 54 were Very Large Crude Carriers, each capable of carrying approximately two million barrels.   Many had recently unloaded elsewhere and are now steaming to the Gulf of America — including 20 empty tankers under European flags and 20 under Asian flags.

After just one year back in office, President Trump’s pro-energy policies have shattered records and secured America’s position as the undisputed global energy leader: U.S. natural gas production hit a record 118.5 billion cubic feet per day, with new record highs forecasted in both 2026 and 2027.   America became the first nation in history to export more than 100 million metric tons of liquefied natural gas (LNG) in a single year — reversing years of Biden-era restrictions.   Oil production reached an all-time high of 23.6 million barrels per day.   U.S. offshore oil production also set a new record.   The Trump Administration opened vast new areas for oil, gas, and coal development, approved nearly 6,000 drilling permits on federal and Native American lands (a 55% increase over the prior year), and advanced multiple new LNG export terminals.   Today, the United States produces more oil than Saudi Arabia and Russia combined and more natural gas than Russia, Iran, and China combined—securing its role as the undisputed global energy leader.

President Trump’s energy dominance agenda is more than policy; it is American strength. While adversaries weaponize energy, America delivers it.

US Energy Gid Gets A GREAT BIG BOOST!

Today, Hitachi Energy announced a $1 billion investment in U.S. critical electrical grid infrastructure, including a $457 million investment in a new Virginia-based large power transformer facility — creating thousands of new jobs and helping to power the artificial intelligence revolution.

It’s a key step forward in accelerating President Donald J. Trump’s energy dominance agenda by fortifying our supply chains to meet energy demand. The company cites the White House AI Action Plan as its catalyst — the Trump Administration’s transformative strategy to propel the U.S. into a new era of AI dominance and cement our position as the global AI powerhouse.   Earlier this year, President Trump showcased an unprecedented $92 billion commitment by many of the world’s leading energy and technology companies to build cutting-edge AI and energy infrastructure in Pennsylvania.   Meanwhile, the Trump Administration has overseen an investment boom as companies race to onshore production, expand manufacturing operations, and build new critical infrastructure amid President Trump’s America First trade policy.

Pennacchio: Consider Reactivating Nuclear Power

New Jersey State Senator Joe Pennacchio (R-Morris/Passaic) is calling on the administration to begin an immediate investigation as to the feasibility of recommissioning or replacing the Oyster Creek Nuclear Power Plant in Lacey Township, NJ. The plant, which was under the ownership of Exelon at the time and is now under the ownership of Holtec International, and with the approval of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), agreed to shut down, and did so one year ahead of schedule in 2018. Exelon would have had to comply and update environmental standards which would have included a new $800 million “cooling tower.” They chose to abandon the plant instead.

Senator Pennacchio questions why hundreds of millions of dollars in ratepayer subsidies will be spent on offshore windmills and yet no consideration was given to Exelon to retrofit that plant - a plant that was generating up to 10% of New Jersey’s electricity.

“The State gave away a billion dollars in subsidies and tax credits to the Orsted project and now it is defunct,” said Pennacchio. “New Jersey citizens have never seen an ounce of electricity produced from it.”

“Other projects in Paulsboro, NJ and the New Jersey Wind Port in Salem County have also cost taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars,” Pennacchio continued. “The EDA is currently exploring ‘other uses’ for the Salem County port projects meaning that the $600 million project is also defunct. Just another waste of money on these green environmental schemes.”

The Senator cited recent approval by the NRC that would give Michigan’s Palisades Nuclear Plant, owned by Holtec, the ability to re-start its power plant.

“Certainly, if Michigan can restart a decommissioned power plant, we should minimally look into it at Oyster Creek. If not re-starting Oyster Creek, let’s take advantage of the transmission infrastructure and create a new modern safe nuclear replacement,” said the Senator.

Senator Pennacchio has written to the State Economic Development Authority, the State BPU and the Governor asking for a conversation to begin. He is also actively working on legislation to bring all parties together to determine what if anything can be done at the Oyster Creek facility.

The Senator’s letter to BPU President Guhl-Sadovy, dated August 27, 2025, can be read online.

Legislator Blasts Murphy's Energy Policies

New Jersey State Senator Parker Space (R-24) blasted Governor Murphy for deflecting blame over New Jersey’s skyrocketing energy costs, calling the administration’s excuses both “delusional and dishonest.”

“The mental gymnastics performed by Governor Murphy and New Jersey Democrats to dodge responsibility for this crisis would be impressive if they weren’t so blatantly dishonest,” said Sen. Space. “They blame PJM, President Trump, and even national Republicans—yet ignore one simple truth: Democrats have run Trenton for the last eight years. They own this crisis, plain and simple.”

During an interview on News12’s Ask Governor Murphy, Governor Murphy asserted that he’s taken an “all-of-the-above” approach to energy while pinning blame for supply shortages on PJM and President Trump.

“Murphy’s so-called ‘all-of-the-above’ strategy was really an ‘all-in on offshore wind’ gamble that collapsed, squandering billions of taxpayer dollars and producing nothing,” Sen. Space continued. “Companies like Orsted bailed on New Jersey long before President Trump was even in office, and Democrats never cared about PJM auctions until it was politically convenient.”

Senate Republicans sounded the alarm on PJM’s capacity auction in September 2024 with an op-ed from Senate Republican Leader Anthony Bucco (R-25) titled: “Power Grids Gargantuan Price Increase is an Alarm Bell on Murphy’s Energy Policy.”

“Governor Murphy admitted he won’t apologize for these colossal policy failures that have stuck New Jersey families with the bill. In fact, he and New Jersey Democrats are adamant about doubling down,” said Sen. Space. “There’s only one ‘F’ in failure—and Governor Murphy owns it.”
