While withholding specifics, Leavitt hinted that the forthcoming infrastructure announcement would further bolster America’s position globally. She said that foreign leaders and investors, from Silicon Valley to Wall Street, are regaining confidence in America because President Trump has committed to reducing taxes, cutting regulations, lowering energy costs, and making our nation the envy of the world.

Leavitt also took aim at former President Joe Biden, accusing him of issuing controversial pardons as a distraction during Trump’s address. She remarked that It is a disgrace that Joe Biden pardoned his entire family on his way out the door, and this act is an admission of guilt and a desperate attempt to shield his family from accountability. She emphasized Trump’s commitment to restoring the Justice Department and ending the weaponization of justice under the previous administration.
The announcement follows a major legislative victory for Trump, as the Senate passed the Laken Riley Act late Monday night. This immigration-focused bill, a priority for the new Congress, requires federal detention for undocumented immigrants accused of crimes such as theft and assault.

The legislation passed with a bipartisan vote of 64-35, with every Republican senator and 12 Democrats supporting the measure. Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) highlighted the bill’s significance, stating that this legislation ensures that illegal aliens who commit crimes like theft or assaulting law enforcement officers are detained by ICE instead of being released back into our communities.

Among the Democrats who voted in favor were Sens. John Fetterman (Pa.), Ruben Gallego (Ariz.), Maggie Hassan (N.H.), Mark Kelly (Ariz.), Jon Ossoff (Ga.), Raphael Warnock (Ga.), and several others. This marks the first major piece of legislation to pass the GOP-controlled Senate, signaling a strong start to Trump’s legislative agenda. With the bill now heading to the president’s desk, Trump is poised to deliver on his immigration promises, further solidifying his leadership in shaping America’s future.
