Economy Directives

To Implement the United States-Israel Agreenent on Trade in Agricultural Products and for Other Purposes

This Presidential Action modifies the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) primarily to extend, through December 31, 2026, the duty-free access for specified quantities of certain agricultural products from Israel, consistent with the ongoing United States-Israel Free Trade Area (USIFTA) agreements.

The proclamation also enacts critical technical modifications, rectifying errors found in implementation notices for the USIFTA, the United States-Singapore Free Trade Agreement (USSFTA), and the United States-Korea Free Trade Agreement (USKFTA), alongside updating cross-references affected by recent reciprocal tariff orders related to the European Union.

This Presidential Memorandum directs various cabinet secretaries and agency heads to ensure the United States leads global development of the next generation of mobile communications networks (6G), establishing it as foundational to national security and economic prosperity.

The action explicitly mandates studies for relocating Federal systems away from the 7.125-7.4 GHz spectrum band to enable its designation for commercial 6G use, while also initiating studies for other bands (2.69-2.9 GHz and 4.4-4.94 GHz).

Furthermore, the Secretary of State is ordered to engage diplomatically to advance U.S. objectives in international standards bodies concerning 6G.

ENSURING AMERICAN SPACE SUPERIORITY

This Presidential Action establishes comprehensive policy priorities to assert United States superiority in space, focusing on four key areas: leading exploration through a return to the Moon by 2028 and establishing a permanent lunar outpost by 2030; securing national and economic security interests against space threats; fostering a robust commercial space economy projected to attract $50 billion in new investment by 2028; and developing advanced capabilities, including deploying lunar nuclear power by 2030.

The order outlines specific implementation timelines, assigns coordination roles to various White House offices and agency heads, mandates significant reforms to NASA and Commerce acquisition processes, and supersedes prior related directives, including the revocation of Executive Order 14056.

Protecting American Investors from Foreign-Owned and Politically-Motivated Proxy Advisors

This Presidential Action directs multiple federal agencies to increase oversight, transparency, and competition within the proxy advisor industry, which is dominated by two foreign-owned firms, Institutional Shareholder Services and Glass, Lewis & Co.

The order specifically mandates that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) review and potentially revise rules related to proxy advice and shareholder proposals, focusing on eliminating advice based on non-pecuniary factors like DEI and ESG. Furthermore, it tasks the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) with investigating antitrust concerns and requires the Department of Labor to strengthen fiduciary standards under ERISA to ensure proxy advice serves the sole financial interest of retirement plan participants.

Ensuring a National Policy Framework for Artificial Intelligence

This Presidential Action establishes the policy that the United States must sustain global Artificial Intelligence (AI) dominance through a minimally burdensome national framework, overriding conflicting state regulations that threaten innovation.

The order mandates the creation of an AI Litigation Task Force within the Justice Department to challenge specific state AI laws deemed unlawful or unduly burdensome.

Furthermore, it directs the Department of Commerce and the Federal Trade Commission to evaluate existing state laws—identifying those that compel alterations to truthful AI outputs—and establishes mechanisms to restrict federal funding for states maintaining conflicting regulations, while instructing staff to prepare a unified legislative recommendation for Congress.

Addressing Security Risks from Price Fixing and Anti-Competitive Behavior in the Food Supply Chain

This Presidential Action establishes Food Supply Chain Security Task Forces within the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to investigate anti-competitive behavior, including price fixing, and assess risks posed by foreign control over U.S. food-related industries.

The initiative aims to ensure an affordable and secure food supply by empowering these agencies to take necessary enforcement actions, initiate criminal proceedings if appropriate, and brief Congress on progress and potential legislative recommendations within 180 and 365 days of issuance.

America 250: Presidential Message on the Anniversary of the Monroe Doctrine

This document, framed as a presidential message related to the anniversary of the Monroe Doctrine, reaffirms the U.S. commitment to sovereignty in the Western Hemisphere, introducing a "Trump Corollary" that asserts American control over the destiny of the hemisphere, free from foreign or globalist institutions.

The administration highlights achievements such as restoring privileged Panama Canal access, bolstering maritime dominance, disrupting international supply chain practices, halting drug flows from Mexico, securing the southern border against illegal immigration, dismantling narco-terrorist networks, and securing new trade deals with several Central and South American nations as evidence of this vigorous, America-first approach to hemispheric leadership and security.

America 250: Presidential Message on Mark Twain’s 190th Birthday

The message connects Twain's legacy of getting started and striving for excellence to the current administration's stated goals of revitalizing the economy, securing the border, and achieving global peace, expressing hope for a 'Golden Age of prosperity for all Americans' rather than a 'Gilded Age'.
