Office of the Press Secretary FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE November 12, 2020

NOTICE   - - - - - - -   CONTINUATION OF THE NATIONAL EMERGENCY WITH RESPECT TO BURUNDI         On November 22, 2015, by Executive Order 13712, the President declared a national emergency to deal with the unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States constituted by the situation in Burundi, which has been marked by the killing of and violence against civilians, unrest, the incitement of imminent violence, and significant political repression, and which threatens the peace, security, and stability of Burundi and the region.  I commend the new government and the people of Burundi for the recent historic peaceful transfer of power and encourage the new government to continue to engage with the United States and other countries to address the underlying actions and policies of the Government of Burundi that led to the declaration of a national emergency in Executive Order 13712.  At this time, however, I have not seen sufficient evidence that the situation is resolved.      As such, the situation in Burundi continues to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States.  For this reason, the national emergency declared on November 22, 2015, to deal with that threat must continue in effect beyond November 22, 2020.  Therefore, in accordance with section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am continuing for 1 year the national emergency with respect to Burundi declared in Executive Order 13712.     This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and transmitted to the Congress.                                 DONALD J. TRUMP   THE WHITE HOUSE,     November 12, 2020. ###

Statement from National Security Advisor Robert C. O’Brien

Office of the Press Secretary FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE November 11, 2020

Statement from National Security Advisor Robert C. O’Brien Beijing's recent actions disqualifying pro-democracy legislators from Hong Kong's Legislative Council leave no doubt that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has flagrantly violated its international commitments under the Sino-British Joint Declaration and its promises to the people of Hong Kong, including those under the Basic Law.  "One Country, Two Systems" is now merely a fig leaf covering for the CCP's expanding one party dictatorship in Hong Kong.  The United States will continue to utilize all the powers granted under the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act, the Hong Kong Autonomy Act, and the Executive Order on Hong Kong Normalization to identify and sanction those responsible for extinguishing Hong Kong's freedom.

Proclamation on Veterans Day, 2020

 

Office of the Press Secretary FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE November 10, 2020 Veterans Day, 2020   - - - - - - -   By the President of the United States of America   A Proclamation          America's veterans have fought to defend our country, its values, and its interests since the first days of our founding.  They have defeated tyrants, eliminated terrorists, and secured freedom at home and abroad.  Their courage and fortitude in the face of adversity serve as an example for all Americans.  On Veterans Day, we pause to pay tribute to all who have proudly worn our Nation's uniform.  These Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines, and Coast Guardsmen selflessly placed lives, well‑being, and security of others before their own.  We enjoy the privileges of peace, prosperity, and freedom because of our veterans, and we are forever indebted to them beyond measure.           For their love of country and dedication to duty, America's veterans have endured adversity, loneliness, fatigue, loss, and made other incredible sacrifices.  Many sustained life-altering physical injuries and disabilities; others bear the burden of emotional scars for the remainder of their lives.  Our Nation's veterans fully understand liberty's high and precious cost, for they have paid it every day since the formation of our Republic.      As Commander in Chief, I have relentlessly fought to support America's veterans.  For far too long, our Government had not fully met its obligation to provide for "him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow and his orphan."  I recognize that this country and its people are duty-bound to care for our exceptional veterans, their families, and their survivors.  That is why, throughout my time in office, I have worked tirelessly to improve the health, welfare, and economic prosperity of these treasured people.  In just a few short years, my Administration completely overhauled the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), removing employees who were not giving our veterans the care and attention they deserve and making the agency more accountable to the heroes it serves.  I also signed into law the VA MISSION Act, which gives eligible veterans the choice to receive timely care from providers in their own communities.  In 2018, I also signed the largest funding bill in the history of the VA, and the VA has since benefited from record budgets every year.  In addition, I signed a Presidential Memorandum to ensure that veterans who are totally and permanently disabled receive the Federal student loan forgiveness to which they are so justly entitled.  We will continue to build on these efforts and work to create an economic environment that fosters growth and prosperity for veterans, ensuring all of our veterans have the opportunity to live productive civilian lives.      The mental health and welfare of our veterans is of critical importance, and addressing this issue has been a top priority.  Tragically, an average of 20 veterans and service members die by suicide each day.  We are striving with all our effort to end this alarming and unacceptable reality.  Last year, I launched the largest whole-of-government program in history to end veteran suicide, the President's Roadmap to Empower Veterans and End a National Tragedy of Suicide (PREVENTS).  I also recently signed the Commander John Scott Hannon Veteran Mental Health Care Improvement Act which is strengthening VA mental health, supporting suicide prevention efforts, and developing pilot programs dedicated to ending veteran suicide.  I have also bolstered the Veterans Crisis Line, so that its around-the-clock operators can deliver the best possible intervention services to vulnerable veterans.      Our veterans represent the best of America, and they deserve the best America can provide them.  To recognize and respect the contributions our service men and women have made in defense of America, and to advance the cause of peace, the Congress has provided, as outlined in 5 U.S.C. 6103(a), that November 11th of each year shall be set aside as a legal public holiday to recognize America's veterans.  These heroes served faithfully, humbly, and valiantly in times of war and peace, and they carried these admirable traits into the civilian workforce when their military service was fulfilled.  Our precious liberty has survived and thrived because of generations of brave Americans -- from every background and walk of life -- who have answered the call to support and defend the United States.  The gravity of their contribution is immeasurable and so is our debt to every single one of our Nation's veterans.      NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim November 11, 2020, as Veterans Day.  I encourage all Americans to recognize the fortitude and sacrifice of our veterans through public ceremonies and private thoughts and prayers.  I call upon Federal, State, and local officials to display the flag of the United States and to participate in patriotic activities in their communities.  I call on all Americans, including civic and fraternal organizations, places of worship, schools, and communities to support this day with commemorative expressions and programs.      IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this tenth day of November, in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-fifth.                                    DONALD J. TRUMP

Presidential Message on the 245th Birthday of the United States Marine Corps

 

Office of the Press Secretary FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE November 10, 2020

Presidential Message on the 245th Birthday of the United States Marine Corps   As Commander in Chief, I proudly join our Nation in wishing the United States Marine Corps a happy 245th birthday. Officially established by the Second Continental Congress on November 10, 1775, the Marine Corps has protected our sovereignty in the air, on land, and at sea.  Our Marines have led the charge for freedom and justice in defense of our constitutional republic and its founding principles. Since they first shed blood for the cause of freedom during the Revolutionary War, Marines, true to their creed, have never wavered in their faithfulness.  The distinct scarlet and gold Battle Colors of the United States Marine Corps symbolize its history of both unmatched prowess on the battlefield and solemn sacrifice in service to our Nation.  Every brave man and woman who dons the Marine Corps uniform carries this legacy forward. With steadfast honor, courage, and commitment, Marines have swiftly and decisively risen to the occasion to secure victory, no matter the task.  This January marks the 30th anniversary of Operation Desert Storm, in which Marines successfully carried out one of the most consequential offensive attacks in the history of modern warfare.  Throughout the Gulf War, these brave warriors never faltered, a reflection of their long-standing devotion to pressing forward until every battle is won. Today, as we celebrate the men and women who valiantly defend our country as United States Marines, we also honor our heroic Marine veterans, and we solemnly remember those Marines who made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our freedom.  We will always cherish and honor their memory. The First Lady and I send our thoughts and prayers to all members of our Armed Forces and their families.  May God bless the Marine Corps, and may He continue to bless the United States of America. Semper Fidelis!

Presidential Message on the National Day for the Victims of Communism

 

Office of the Press Secretary FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE November 7, 2020 Presidential Message on the National Day for the Victims of Communism   On National Day for the Victims of Communism, we solemnly remember the more than 100 million lives claimed by communism in the 20th century.  We commit ourselves to stopping the spread of this oppressive ideology that, without fail, leaves in its wake misery, destruction, and death.  As proud Americans who cherish the blessings of freedom and democracy, we promise to support the more than one billion people currently captive within communist regimes and denied their unalienable rights to life and liberty.          This year marks the 100th anniversary of the decisive Polish victory against Vladimir Lenin’s Bolsheviks in the Battle of Warsaw.  Known as the Miracle on the Vistula, the Polish heroes of this battle halted the spread of communism in Europe for decades.  Sadly, the Soviet Union erected an Iron Curtain around Poland and spread communism to neighboring countries and around the world.  Since then, the United States and the free world have borne witness to the horrors of communism, including Chinese prison camps and Soviet gulags.  Over the last century, communist regimes from Cambodia’s Khmer Rouge to Ethiopia’s Derg have confirmed the soul-crushing oppression inherent in Karl Marx’s philosophy.   Still today, we observe the irony of “People’s Republics” that belong not to the people, but to one-party and that exist only for the benefit of a select few.  Over and over, communism and socialism have proven to be irreconcilable with the unalienable and fundamental rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.  While Marxism promises equality, peace, and happiness, in practice it results only in inequality, violence, and despair.   On this National Day for the Victims of Communism, we commit to standing against this insidious ideology, and pledge with great pride that the United States will never be a socialist nation.  We memorialize all those who have lost their lives to communism and recommit to promoting freedom so that future generations can flourish.

Proclamation on World Freedom Day, 2020

 

Office of the Press Secretary FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE November 6, 2020 WORLD FREEDOM DAY, 2020   - - - - - - -   BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA   A PROCLAMATION          On World Freedom Day, we commemorate the historic fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, which liberated the people of East Germany from the grip of tyranny.  This watershed event marked the triumph of freedom and liberty for hundreds of millions of people who rejected the oppression of Soviet communism and its Marxist-Leninist ideology.  Today, we celebrate the blessings of freedom in Germany and across the world, and reaffirm our Nation's support for all who wish to be free.      Following World War II, the Soviet Union built an Iron Curtain between the East and West, isolating the city of West Berlin and shutting off the free flow of goods and people.  Determined to prevent the light of liberty from being extinguished, our Nation stood with the United Kingdom and France against the Soviet demand that the West withdraw from Berlin.  To defeat this demand for surrender, the United States Air Force and our allies fearlessly airlifted food, fuel, and supplies to the starving people of West Berlin, and together, we were resolved to restore freedom to the German people.      For almost 30 years, the Berlin Wall symbolized the divide between the free world and communism.  On its eastern side, the rights that democratic societies hold dear -- the fundamental freedoms of religion, speech, the press, association, and petition -- were replaced by forced secularism, oppressive censorship, monolithic propaganda, and inhumane division.  Hundreds of brave Germans died attempting to escape this brutal fate, as the Stasi used landmines, armed watchtowers, and barbed wire to intimidate those who dreamed of freedom and to kill and harm those who braved any attempt to escape.  Those whose escapes failed, those who facilitated successful or attempted crossings, and those who crossed the Stasi in some other way were tortured, imprisoned, and executed in horrifying violations of human dignity and rights.      The United States always stood resolutely with the victims and survivors of the evil ideology that controlled East Germany and East Berlin.  Our valiant response to Soviet oppression in Germany defined the Cold War, from President John F. Kennedy's declaration, "Ich bin ein Berliner," in 1963 to President Ronald Reagan's momentous call, "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!" in 1987.  Our founding principles of individual, God-given unalienable rights, human dignity, and equality of opportunity were embraced by the millions held in Soviet bondage, and ultimately won the ideological battle of the Cold War.  As a result, we are able to celebrate Germany's reunification today, reaffirm our alliance, and recognize German contributions to modern day peace and prosperity.      This World Freedom Day, we honor all those who fought for freedom, endured injustice, and bravely resisted totalitarianism before the fall of the Berlin Wall.  We also reassert our longstanding commitment to combat tyranny, uplift the voices of those held captive by communist regimes, and halt the spread of this brutal ideology at home and around the world.      NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim November 9, 2020, as World Freedom Day.  I call upon the people of the United States to observe this day with appropriate ceremonies and activities, reaffirming our dedication to freedom and democracy.      IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this sixth day of November, in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-fifth.                                    DONALD J. TRUMP

Proclamation on National Apprenticeship Week, 2020

 

Office of the Press Secretary FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE November 6, 2020

NATIONAL APPRENTICESHIP WEEK, 2020   - - - - - - -   BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA   A PROCLAMATION          Apprenticeships provide American workers tangible skills and an industry-recognized credential.  They strengthen our Nation's economy and help millions of men and women provide for their families without taking on the financial burden of student loans and other related debt.  During National Apprenticeship Week, we celebrate the American workers who create a brighter future for themselves and their families through apprenticeships, and we further our commitment to bolstering opportunity as we continue our economic comeback.      For decades, politicians and bureaucrats in Washington neglected workers, shipped jobs overseas, and abandoned essential manufacturing industries.  When I took office, I reversed these policies and pledged to always put the American economy, labor force, and worker first.  Under my leadership, we have cut taxes, removed burdensome regulations on businesses, and renegotiated our trade deals, all of which led to historic job creation and economic growth.  Apprenticeships are a pillar of our effort to continue this trend, and my Administration remains committed to supporting initiatives that empower Americans and prepare our workers to compete and thrive in a 21st-century economy.      Since taking office, my Administration has worked tirelessly to empower more Americans with the benefits of apprenticeships and the skills they provide.  In June of 2017, I signed an Executive Order on Expanding Apprenticeships in America.  Under my leadership, the Department of Labor has awarded $80 million across 42 States and territories for occupational skills education for American students and workers, 800,000 Americans have joined apprenticeship programs, and we are well on the way to meeting my goal of 1 million new apprentices by September of next year.  In Fiscal Year 2019 alone, we registered more than 250,000 new apprentices in vital industries, including advanced manufacturing, financial services, educational services, transportation, healthcare, and informational technology.  My Administration also recently launched the Industry-Recognized Apprenticeship Program model, which provides opportunities for industry-led, market-driven training that expands workforce development and opens windows to well-paying jobs in high-demand industries.  In recognition of our Nation's obligation to our military men and women, my Administration has also expanded the United Services Military Apprenticeship Program across all branches, providing apprenticeship opportunities to our service members while they are still on active duty to help them prepare for prosperous and fulfilling lives after their time in uniform.      My Administration will also continue to work with industry partners to provide workers with the skills they need to succeed in today's economy through the Pledge to America's Workers.  This initiative recently proved essential as our Nation confronted the unprecedented challenges of the coronavirus pandemic.  As part of our ongoing response, we launched the largest industrial mobilization since World War II, and thousands of new apprentices answered the call for skilled labor in key sectors like manufacturing, healthcare, cybersecurity, and information technology.  These efforts demonstrate that, when government allows the free market to respond, the spirit of the American worker and the strength and resolve of America's economy will overcome any challenge.        This week, we recommit to bolstering economic opportunity through apprenticeships.  I encourage individuals, business leaders, and government officials to support hardworking Americans and their families through expanding apprenticeship education and training, recognizing the essential role apprenticeships play in sustaining our national economy.      NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim November 8 through November 14, 2020, as National Apprenticeship Week.      IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this sixth day of November, in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-fifth.                                    DONALD J. TRUMP
