The White House highlighted several key developments, beginning with President Trump signing executive orders focused on advancing drone technology, flying cars, and supersonic aircraft development. These orders aim to reduce reliance on foreign adversaries, relax restrictions on supersonic flight, and enable routine drone operations beyond visual line of sight. The White House also touted a new report suggesting declining inflation and rising wages, anticipating further economic gains from President Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill" that aims to cut taxes. Furthermore, the White House referenced an Arizona Republic article that claimed the U.S.-Mexico border is experiencing a significant drop in migrant encounters, while acknowledging that Trump maintains a border crisis narrative even as migrant encounters decline.

President Trump's Truth Social activity included a range of announcements and commentary. He expressed confidence in the U.S. Army and its future strength, as well as taking credit for sending law enforcement to Los Angeles to prevent riots, criticizing California Governor Newsom's handling of the situation. Trump also declared the U.S. has a "GREAT MILITARY," and that the country is "back," celebrating positive CPI numbers and advocating for a Federal Reserve interest rate cut. The President also announced a US-China trade deal framework pending final approval with President Xi, including details about tariffs and the exchange of students. The President also stated that a Federal Appeals Court has ruled the United States can use TARIFFS to protect itself against other countries, calling it a "great and important win for the U.S."

President Trump Signs Executive Orders on Drones, Flying Cars, and Supersonics

President Trump signed three executive orders aimed at accelerating domestic drone production, securing airspace, and reestablishing American leadership in supersonic technology. According to White House Office of Science and Technology Policy Director Michael Kratsios, these orders will provide American innovators "greater ability to test, develop, and commercialize these cutting-edge aircrafts that will reshape aviation," as "decades of regulatory gridlock have grounded advancements."

The orders intend to reduce reliance on adversarial nations, repeal regulations hindering supersonic flight, and enable routine beyond line-of-sight drone operations. A pilot program will test electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft for various applications. The orders also address the misuse of drones by criminal, terrorist, and foreign entities, prioritizing drone detection to protect national security and secure borders against aerial threats.

ICYMI: “For the first time in decades, the US-Mexico border is silent”

According to the Arizona Republic, the U.S.-Mexico border has seen a "stark" change, with migrant encounters dropping from over 100,000 monthly a year ago to under 10,000. A USA TODAY Network investigation across 15 border sites found few migrants attempting to cross, shelters nearly empty, and local officials relieved. The report suggests President Trump's promise of shutting down migrant flow "seems fulfilled."

Despite the border's relative quiet, "Trump maintains that it remains in a state of crisis while touting the success of his efforts." The House's spending bill includes $150 billion for immigration enforcement, including funds for wall construction, facilities, and deportation efforts.
