Now that the Potomac Interceptor has been repaired after working closely with DC Water, our focus shifts to ensuring the site is fully remediated in time for America 250. Senior Response Officer Jessica Kramer provided an update on the transition from repair to remediation at the Potomac Interceptor site at a press conference this week.

President Trump promised the Potomac Interceptor would be fixed by mid-March and his admin, working closely with DC Water, delivered!   But we’re not taking our foot off the gas. We will continue working hard at TRUMP SPEED until environmental remediation is complete. wtop.com/dc/2026/03/a-m…

📍Oakland County, Michigan, with @VP JD Vance.   MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

It is so incredibly stupid that New York bans natural gas extraction. Albany is run by some of the nation’s dumbest politicians who proudly deny state residents the massive revenue, extensive jobs and increased energy.

President Trump and @VP Vance are tirelessly pursuing every common sense opportunity to advance the American Dream, and deliver a safer, freer, stronger, and more prosperous nation. It is great to be back in Oakland County, Michigan, today with our amazing VP and Second Lady.

On my way to Michigan with @VP where I’ll be giving remarks about how strongly President Trump’s economic agenda is powering American manufacturing and the U.S. auto industry. 🇺🇸

19 years ago, a high school basketball coach put his team manager into a game for the final four minutes. The kid had never played a single minute of competitive basketball in his life. He scored 20 points. Jason McElwain was diagnosed with severe autism at age two. He didn’t speak until he was five. He couldn’t chew solid food until he was six. He wore a nappy for most of his early childhood. As a baby, he was rigid, wouldn’t make eye contact, and hid in corners away from other children. He tried out for his school basketball team every year and got cut every time. Too small. Too slight. Barely 5’6 and about 54 kilograms. But he loved the game so much that his mum called the school and asked if there was any way he could be involved. The coach created a team manager role for him. For three years, McElwain showed up to every practice and every game. He wore a shirt and tie on match days. He ran drills, handed out water, kept stats, and cheered every basket like he’d scored it himself. On 15 February 2006, the last home game of his final school year, the coach let him suit up in a proper jersey and sit on the bench. With four minutes left and a comfortable lead, the coach sent him in. His first shot missed. His second missed. Then something shifted. He hit a three-pointer. Then another. Then another. His teammates stopped shooting entirely and just kept passing him the ball. He hit six three-pointers and a two-pointer. 20 points in four minutes. The highest scorer in the game. When the final buzzer went, the entire crowd rushed the court and lifted him onto their shoulders. His mum tapped the coach on the shoulder, in tears. “This is the nicest gift you could have ever given my son.” McElwain won the ESPY Award for Best Moment in Sports that year, beating out some of the biggest names in professional sport. He’s 36 now. He works at a local supermarket, coaches basketball, has run 17 marathons including five Boston Marathons, and travels the country speaking about never giving up. When asked about that night, his coach still gets emotional. “For him to come in and seize the moment like he did was certainly more than I ever expected. I was an emotional wreck.”

Trump officials announce $56 billion in Indo-Pacific energy deals axios.com/2026/03/16/tru…

Last week, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Nearly one in eight women in the United States will face this diagnosis. Every day, these women continue to raise their families, go to work, and serve their communities with strength and determination. I now join their ranks. I am grateful to have an outstanding team of doctors who detected the cancer early and are guiding my care, and I am encouraged by a very good prognosis. I am also deeply thankful for the support and encouragement of President Trump as I undergo treatment and continue serving in my role as White House Chief of Staff.

US energy exports can be delivered to Asian nations in far less time and with a long history of total freedom of navigation. Unleashing US energy dominance has given our nation the ability to power ourselves at home while also supporting the energy needs of our allies. Buying American energy is the way to go!

Massive energy deal after deal was struck here in Tokyo this weekend at the White House’s National Energy Dominance Council led forum. $50+ BILLION in new Indo-Pacific investments secured with U.S. companies, driven through President Trump’s leadership.

President Trump is working extensively on many new energy projects across the country, ramping up oil production, LNG pipeline projects, small modular nuclear reactors, and clean, beautiful coal. The potential is limitless and ground is being broken nationwide.

President Trump pledged to get the Potomac Interceptor fixed at Trump Speed by mid-March. Working closely with DC Water and our federal partners, we got it done! Next mission: completing our environmental remediation work in time for America 250.

Indo-Pacific alliances are rapidly strengthening this weekend in Tokyo where tens of billions of dollars of new deals have already been cut and announced to tap into American energy supply, partner on critical minerals, and reduce reliances on unstable regions and adversarial nations.

President Trump’s bold and necessary energy policy will result in MORE domestic baseload power, MORE U.S. jobs, MORE foreign purchases of our exports, and LESS reliance on our adversaries. Was just on Fox and Friends live from the White House’s National Energy Dominance Council forum in Tokyo.

TENS OF BILLIONS of dollars of new energy deals have already been announced this weekend at the White House’s National Energy Dominance Council led forum in Tokyo! Today was an incredibly productive day for the United States and our Indo-Pacific partnerships.

LIVE from Tokyo: @LeeMZeldin on @FoxNews debriefing President Trump’s National Energy Dominance Council’s first day brokering MULTI-BILLION dollar international deals to promote CLEAN, SECURE, AFFORDABLE & RELIABLE energy for America and our allies.

Unleashing energy dominance is an ALL DAY EVERY DAY TOTAL COMMITMENT of the Trump Admin. This is the mandate the American people gave President Trump, and he is delivering. Currently overseas in Tokyo with @SecretaryBurgum and other Admin officials securing MANY new MULTI-BILLION dollar deals to advance our nation’s economy, security, and future.

Fantastic energy dominance panel here in Tokyo led by @USAmbJapan Deputy Chief of Mission Aaron Snipe! @EPA @EPALeeZeldin has the mic, flanked by NEDC Chair @Interior @SecretaryBurgum and NEDC Executive Director @JarrodAgen! 🇺🇸

🇺🇸🇯🇵 President Trump’s National Energy Dominance Council, @SecretaryBurgum, & @epaleezeldin are in Japan to strengthen our energy security & secure more than $30 billion in energy deals. Reliable, affordable, & secure energy is essential to the U.S. & our Indo-Pacific partners.
