A historic day for Idaho and America. Today, the first nuclear reactor of its kind in nearly 50 years achieved criticality at @INL. This is just the beginning for a new era of advanced nuclear reactors that will power our future, and Idaho is leading the charge.

NOW: Ambassador to the UN Mike Waltz torches the United Nations for FAILING on the world stage and for PRAISING dictatorships around the globe:
“The UN has drifted. Its budget has quadrupled… Yet we have not seen a quadrupling of peace. Wars rage, dictatorships are honored… The UN pushes costly ideological agendas.”

Huge win for our female athletes! The International Olympic Committee listened when I demanded fairness in women’s sports. I am glad to see that our athletes will compete on a level playing field when the U.S. hosts the next Olympics!

Idaho is home to over 11 million acres of productive agricultural land, and it would be inexcusable to allow it to come under the control of Communist China. Thanks to the leadership of @SecWar and @SecRollins, Idaho agriculture will stay in Idaho’s hands.
Today, @SecWar and I signed a new agreement strengthening coordination between @USDA and the @DeptofWar to protect American farmland, agriculture, and our food systems from foreign threats. 🇺🇸🌾🔒
This MOU advances our National Farm Security Action Plan through a new partnership with Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). Bringing cutting edge innovation and defense expertise together to safeguard American agriculture!
Farm security IS national security!

Honored by @POTUS’ appointment to serve as Chair for the World Expo 2035 bid. The event is an incredible stage to showcase our nation’s Golden Age and American exceptionalism before the world. There is nothing quite like Miami hospitality and it would be a privilege to bring the World Expo back to the U.S. for the first time since 1962.
"Today, I am announcing the United States’ intention to bid for the World Expo 2035. The Great State of Florida has expressed strong interest in hosting the Expo in Miami, which I fully support. Miami Expo 2035 can be the next big milestone in our new Golden Age of America. I am appointing Miami native Secretary of State Marco Rubio to Chair the efforts of coordinating and advancing this exciting opportunity to convene the World. We will create thousands of jobs, and add Billions of Dollars in GROWTH, to our Economy. In my First Term as President, I fought hard to bring the 2026 FIFA World Cup and 2028 LA Summer Olympics to the U.S.A. I now have the Honor of hosting as the 47th President, plus America250, G20 Doral, and the G7. I look forward to winning and participating in the Miami Expo 2035!" - PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP🇺🇸

The Iranian regime is the leading state sponsor of terrorism around the world and uses violence to control its own people.
Senate Republicans support the Iranian people as they bravely fight for a new day.

WATCH: My speech demanding passage of the No Tax Dollars for Terrorists Act.
Democrat opposition to the No Tax Dollars for Terrorists Act is beyond understanding. I will continue fighting to defund the Taliban and getting this bill through my committee as quickly as possible.
