Enjoyed meeting with President @nayibbukele today at @POTUS’ Shield of the Americas summit in Doral, Florida.  I was glad to hear more about President Bukele’s pro-market reforms for El Salvador and his efforts to make El Salvador a digital assets hub. We will continue to work together to advance strategies to strengthen our hemisphere. -

Thanks to @POTUS’ actions, wages and tax refunds are going up – and inflation, gas prices, and rent are going down. A non-inflationary boom will take off in 2026, and working Americans from all walks of life will feel the difference. https://t.co/yJgWnuna4z -

I am excited to travel with @POTUS to Iowa to highlight how his economic policies are beginning to kick in. From no tax on tips to no tax on overtime, President Trump is keeping his promises, and now that tax season has begun, working Americans will begin to see substantial refunds. -
