CONG. McCAUL: Supporting President’s Work to Defend Homeland on his 100th Day in Office



Trump Secures Critical Minerals Deal With Ukraine

By Cong. Michael McCaul

Texas Insider Report: WASHINGTON, D.C. – For years, I've fought to protect Texans from the financial burdens and safety threats posed by an open border, and I am grateful President Trump wasted no time in re-establishing a strong deterrence policy and deporting the violent criminals whom the Biden administration welcomed into our communities. Since entering office, the Trump White House has effectively secured the border, with encounters of illegal immigrants at the border dropping by 95%.

President Trump’s success proves we did not need new laws — as Democrats repeatedly claimed last year; we simply needed our laws to be enforced by an administration that wanted to protect our homeland.
 
At such an important time in history, it’s an honor to serve as vice chair of the House Homeland Security Committee

On President Donald Trump's 100th day in office, our committee convened to vote on our portion of Congress’ upcoming funding legislation, which the president has affectionately called the “One Big Beautiful Bill.” Our portion of the bill will further:
 
  • Support the president’s Border Security Agenda by providing funding to finish construction of the border wall
  • Hire new Border Patrol & Customs agents
  • Install new technology to detect illegal drug trafficking at the border, and
  • Ensure our dedicated agents on the frontline have new Facilities & Infrastructure to support them in their mission
Economic Diplomacy as a Path to Prosperity: Trump Secures Critical Minerals Deal With Ukraine

Last week, President Trump announced that the United States and Ukraine officially signed the long-awaited critical minerals deal, which establishes an economic partnership between our two nations. Under the terms of the deal, the U.S. will receive a large portion of the future revenue from Ukraine’s natural resources, in return for U.S. support and investment.

This a proud moment for Americans, Ukrainians, and all peace-loving people around the world. The result of months of tireless work, this historic deal will strengthen the partnership between our two nations, help Ukraine rebuild and restore its communities, and ensure the American taxpayer benefits from the United States’ investment in freedom. 

The deal also sends a strong message to Russia that President Trump is serious about ending this war.

It is time for Putin to stop his attacks on Ukraine, come to the table, and work with President Trump to secure lasting peace in Europe.
