US President Donald Trump set to release “America First” trade policy

In his first public appearance as the freshly-declared President of the United States, Donald Trump has reiterated several of his sweeping campaign claims and promises, including seizing control of the Panama Canal, as well as establish an "external revenue service" which will ostensibly be responsible for collecting profits from tariffs his administration intends to impose. Donald Trump also reiterated his promise to refill the US' Strategic Oil Reserve, a commodity stockpile that President Trump famously dipped into during his first term in a bid to shore up a massive funding shortfall in the US government budget caused by lopsided tax cuts which crimped federal funding revenues. In a separate statement issued by Donald Trump's White House team, the new President will be ending leasing programs for clean energy wind farms, and is set to announce his "America First" trade policy guide, in whatever form and language that happens to take, at some point in the near future.
