President Donald Trump has completed his 29th week in the Oval Office, marking his 200th day as the 47th president. This week was filled with celebrations, renovations to the White House Rose Garden, and a strong focus on the U.S. economy and international diplomacy.
White House spokeswoman Taylor Rogers praised President Trump’s accomplishments, highlighting the historic trade deals and peace agreements he secured for the American people. The first 100 days of a new administration are seen as a symbolic benchmark, but Trump’s success was measured not just in the first 100 days but also between the 100th day and his 200th day in office.
During his 29th week, President Trump focused on new business investments in the U.S. and implemented new tariffs on foreign nations to address the country’s trade deficit. A major announcement was made about Apple increasing its U.S. investment commitment by $100 billion to $600 billion.
The president also signed executive orders allowing Americans to invest their 401(k) retirement plans in cryptocurrency, private equity, and real estate. Another executive order ensured that banks do not deny services based on political or religious beliefs.
President Trump announced increased tariffs on India over their purchase of Russian oil, with goods now facing a 50% tariff. The administration aims to increase American-built products and U.S.-based companies, with exemptions for companies building in the U.S.
In international diplomacy, Trump facilitated a peace agreement between Armenia and Azerbaijan, ending a territorial conflict that dates back to the 1980s. The two nations agreed to build a road connecting Azerbaijan and an autonomous enclave separated by Armenian territory, named the “Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity.”
President Trump expressed openness to meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin to end the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine. A meeting is scheduled to take place in Alaska on August 15.
The White House also announced renovations to the Rose Garden, replacing the grass with a white stone patio to improve functionality. President Trump made a surprise appearance on the White House roof, overseeing the area and interacting with reporters.
Overall, President Trump’s 29th week in office was filled with significant achievements in the U.S. economy and international diplomacy.
