.@EximBankUS Chair John Jovanovic: "What we're really talking about today is America's economic security — and Mr. President, it's your plan in action."
SECRETARY RUBIO: There was this fantasy, really, that the whole world would become a free enterprise democracy, and that everyone would look like us. That ran into reality.
.@SecScottBessent: "A nation that cannot manufacture, mine, ship, or refine its needs gradually cedes its strength and sovereignty to others. That is a dangerous dependency for any country; it is an unacceptable one for the United States of America."
Today, I hosted a working lunch at State House with the Chair of the United States Export-Import (EXIM) Bank, @JJovanovicUSA , and his delegation to discuss current and future projects.
Our discussions focused on strengthening our partnership, advancing the gas-to-energy project, and reviewing other initiatives supported by the bank in Guyana. We also examined key priority areas, including food security, government efficiency and national security, all critical to Guyana’s continued development.
I was joined by members of my Cabinet, Chief of Defence Staff of the Guyana Defence Force, Brigadier Omar Khan, and US Ambassador to Guyana, Her Excellency Nicole Theriot.
Ahead of today’s hearing about the Export-Import Bank, @SenatorTimScott told @CherylCasone that @EximBankUS is key to beating China and keeping America economically dominant.
With more than $10 billion returned to taxpayers, it helps American businesses compete globally.
Yesterday, President Trump launched Project Vault, a U.S. Strategic Critical Minerals Reserve and public-private partnership, to ensure American businesses are not harmed by manufacturing shortages. 🇺🇸
Export-Import Bank President @JJovanovicUSA on Project Vault — the first ever strategic critical minerals reserve in U.S. history: "It creates a public-private partnership formula we think is uniquely suited and puts America’s best foot forward. It brings together our robust capital markets, which are the deepest and the best in the world. But it also brings in the original equipment manufacturers... they’re the ones making the long-term financial commitment to it."
Incredible work done by @jaredkushner, @SteveWitkoff, and @JZGruen on advancing President Trump’s peace plan for Gaza.
Congratulations on this unprecedented achievement. @POTUS is the President of peace!!
