WASHINGTON — On the anniversary of his re-election to a second term, President Donald Trump traveled to Miami to deliver a speech outlining his economic vision at the American Business Forum. The event brought together business executives and international athletes, serving as a more accessible alternative to elite gatherings like the World Economic Forum in Davos. n nTrump’s address highlighted key components of his economic strategy, including deregulation, energy independence, and efforts to stabilize oil prices. A senior White House official, speaking anonymously to preview the speech, noted that the president aimed to showcase how foreign investments secured during his recent Asia trip — which included stops in Malaysia, Japan, and South Korea — benefit American communities. In Tokyo, agreements were reached on major technology and energy ventures backed by Japanese funding. n nThe forum also underscored Miami’s growing significance in Trump’s administration. The city is set to host the G20 summit next year at Trump’s Doral golf resort, despite criticism over potential conflicts of interest. While the president has delegated management of the Trump Organization to his sons, he maintains that no personal profit will be derived from the summit. Additionally, Miami is slated to be a host city for the upcoming World Cup, a role the administration views as pivotal for boosting global visibility and economic activity. n nMiami Mayor Francis Suarez praised Trump’s international engagements, calling them transformative for his presidency. “This conference not only gathers influential figures but does so at a critical moment,” said Suarez, a Republican. n nPublic sentiment remains divided, however. According to the AP Voter Poll, which surveyed over 17,000 individuals across New Jersey, Virginia, California, and New York City, many Americans continue to express concern about inflation and job availability — issues central to recent electoral debates. Despite Trump’s claims of economic resurgence, affordability remains a pressing challenge for households nationwide. n

Trump heads to Miami to speak about his economic agenda on the anniversary of his election winBy SEUNG MIN KIMAssociated PressThe Associated PressWASHINGTONPresident Donald Trump is heading to Miami, speaking on the anniversary of his reelection to a second term. Trump on Wednesday will address a forum of business leaders and global athletes and plans to discuss his economic agenda and recent trade and investment deals made on his trip to Asia. The event, called the American Business Forum, is designed to be a more accessible version of gatherings like the World Economic Forum in Davos. Miami is playing a key role in Trump’s second term. He’s hosting the G20 in nearby Doral next year, and Miami is one of the U.S. host cities for next year’s World Cup. n nWASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump is heading to Miami on Wednesday — the anniversary of his reelection to a second term — to speak to a forum of business leaders and global athletes about what he sees as his economic achievements. n nHis speech to the American Business Forum will be a broad look at his economic agenda and how investments he has secured abroad help U.S. communities, according to a senior White House official. It’s a significant effort from Trump to put a positive spin on the economy at a time when Americans remain uneasy about the state of their finances and the cost of living — and when major campaigns in Tuesday’s election were centered on affordability and the economy. n nThe AP Voter Poll survey, which included more than 17,000 voters in New Jersey, Virginia, California and New York City, suggested the public was troubled by higher prices and fewer job opportunities despite Trump’s promises to tame inflation and unleash growth. n nIn his speech, Trump will touch on deregulation, energy independence and oil prices, and affordability, said the White House official, who was granted anonymity to preview the president’s address. n nTrump spent five days in Asia last week with stops in Malaysia, Japan and South Korea. He worked to ease trade tensions with Beijing in a meeting with Chinese leader Xi Jinping. In Tokyo, he promoted several major energy and tech projects for the U.S. that will be funded by Japan. n nMiami Mayor Francis Suarez said he thinks Trump’s recent travels “have been transformational in his presidency” and said his speech will be a highlight of the forum, which organizers have described as a more accessible version of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, or the Milken Institute Global Conference, which gathers the world’s elite for discussions on the economy. n n“This conference not only is creating this incredible collection of people, but it’s also creating them in a particular moment in time,” said Suarez, a Republican. n nTrump’s visit also highlights how the Miami area is playing a key role during his second term. n nTrump is set to host leaders of the world’s leading rich and developing economies at next year’s Group of 20 summit at his golf club at the nearby city of Doral, despite what critics say is the appearance of impropriety. n nTrump’s sons have taken over running the Trump Organization while their father is in the White House, and the president has insisted that his family’s business will not make any money by holding the summit at the golf club. n nThe city is where Trump wants to locate his future presidential library, which is now facing a legal challenge over whether the plot of land in downtown Miami is being properly transferred. Miami is also one of the U.S. host cities for next year’s World Cup, which Trump has eagerly promoted as the kickoff to several major global sporting events for which the U.S. is playing host. Ensuring the success of the World Cup has been a top priority for the Trump administration.
