White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt this afternoon is set to give her second press briefing since Trump took office.
Leavitt gave her debut press conference in the White House Briefing Room Tuesday, and she did an incredible job outlining President Trump’s America First agenda and telling off the leftist media.
At one point, Leavitt absolutely schooled two different reporters who pressed her back-to-back on the Trump Administration’s deportation of illegal aliens who had not been convicted of a crime inside of our borders despite crossing the border illegally.
“It’s a big culture shift in our nation to view someone who breaks our immigration laws as a criminal, but that’s exactly what they are,” she told a nasty leftist reporter who apparently doesn’t know what a criminal is.
Today, Leavitt will likely address the incoming tariffs on Mexico and Canada, which are expected to be implemented on Saturday.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, President Trump set Saturday as his deadline for Tariffs on the two countries.
The administration asserts that these tariffs will remain until both neighboring countries take substantial measures to curb the flow of unauthorized migrants and illicit drugs into the United States.
“I’ll be putting the tariff of 25% on Canada and separately 25% on Mexico. We will really have to do that because we have very big deficits with those countries. Those tariffs may or may not rise with time,” Trump said.
“We’ll be announcing the tariffs on Canada and Mexico for a number of reasons. Number one is the people that have poured into our country so horribly and so much. Number two are the drugs, fentanyl and everything else that have come into the country. Number three are the massive subsidies that we’re giving to Canada and to Mexico in the form of deficits.”
This announcement follows a recent agreement with Colombia, where the threat of similar tariffs led the Marxist president to fold like a cheap suit and begin accepting deported migrants.
Leavitt may also address the recent tragedy at Reagan International Airport, where a US military helicopter ran into an American Airlines flight from Wichita, Kansas on Wednesday night. The president addressed the crash during a press conference Thursday and pointed out the disastrous record of Pete Buttigieg, the former Transportation Secretary and a DEI hire.
President Trump further outlined his agenda to ensure competency within the Department of Transportation, Federal Aviation Administration, and the military with merit based hiring practices.
President Trump is set to sign more executive orders at 3 pm ET.
