Easter Egg Roll: Cherished Family Tradition

On Monday, the President hosted thousands of children and parents for the White House Easter Egg Roll – a cherished springtime tradition dating back to 1878. Against the backdrop of blooming cherry blossoms, little rollers raced eggs on wooden spoons, played games, and heard Easter stories on the South Lawn. “We’re continuing a great American tradition today,” the President said, welcoming families to the People’s House with joy and pride. He praised the event as a wonderful way to bring families and communities together, noting that generations of Americans have celebrated freedom and spring on this lawn. The festive atmosphere – complete with live music and stories – highlighted the administration’s support for family, faith, and fun in the nation’s capital.

Wounded Heroes Honored: Saluting Sacrifice and Courage

Later in the week, the administration paid tribute to America’s wounded veterans and their families. In a ceremony at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, the President affirmed that our wounded warriors are true American heroes and thanked them for their service. “We will honor the sacrifice, courage, and resilience of these brave Americans,” he said. The event was hosted in partnership with veterans’ groups, providing the honorees with special recognition and support. The President pledged ongoing care and gratitude, underscoring that the nation stands with those who gave so much for freedom.

Global Partnership Strengthened: Visit by Norway’s Prime Minister

In international affairs, President Trump welcomed Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre of Norway to the White House. The leaders emphasized the two nations’ deep alliance and shared values. In their bilateral meeting, they discussed expanded defense cooperation, clean energy initiatives, and Arctic security. “Norway has been a steadfast ally, and we are committed to strengthening our friendship,” the President stated. The visit underscored the administration’s effort to deepen global partnerships and promote mutual prosperity.

Major Investments Announced: Confidence in America’s Future

The White House also announced a wave of new corporate investments in America, demonstrating global confidence in the U.S. economy. Companies such as Bayer, Chevron, Coinbase, Roche, Toyota, General Motors, and Chobani pledged hundreds of millions of dollars to expand production, research, and facilities in the U.S. These projects will create new American jobs in manufacturing, high tech, agriculture, and more. The President noted that these investments are commitments to America’s future and its people, evidence of trust in American leadership and innovation.

MAHA Update: Phasing Out Harmful Food Dyes

Health policy advanced as the administration announced a new “MAHA” initiative to protect American consumers. Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. revealed plans to phase out eight petroleum-based synthetic dyes currently used in foods. Under the plan, the FDA will work with producers to voluntarily eliminate six common dyes by next year and begin banning two additional colorants. FDA Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary emphasized that removing these additives is an important step toward a healthier future for American families.

Task Force Launched: Combating Anti-Christian Bias

In a landmark move to defend religious liberty, President Trump signed an Executive Order directing a new inter-agency task force to combat anti-Christian bias nationwide. The order affirms the commitment to protect Americans’ religious freedoms and prevent government discrimination. The President stated, “Every American should be free to practice their faith openly and without persecution.” This new task force reflects a national commitment to upholding faith and constitutional freedoms.

Border Security: Protecting Communities

Border security remained a top priority as the administration implemented stronger enforcement measures. Federal agencies increased personnel, technology, and surveillance along the southern border to stop illegal crossings and enhance safety. The President declared, “Our country and our communities must be protected.” New actions include reinforcing border walls, expanding patrols, and targeting smuggling networks — ensuring the safety and sovereignty of the nation.
