(AGENPARL) - Roma, 26 Luglio 2026 - Jobless claims hit the lowest level since 1969 and Trump's Ratepayer Protection Pledge locks in American AI dominance — plus the Section 301 probe against the EU's $18B tech shakedown.

WEEKLY BRIEFING
57-Year Record Low on Jobless Claims — And Trump's Ratepayer Protection Pledge Locks In America's AI Future
Two major wins define this week. First: jobless claims fell to their lowest level since 1969, a 57-year record that puts the full force of the Trump economic agenda on display. The Working Families Tax Cuts are igniting a manufacturing renaissance across all 50 states, with manufacturers reporting protected jobs, preserved wages, and broad economic growth nationwide. Second: President Trump secured the the Ratepayer Protection Pledge ( — a landmark commitment guaranteeing that America's AI dominance is built without sticking consumers with the bill. The administration also launched the Genesis Mission, committing more than $5 billion to a national AI-for-science initiative.
The EU's years-long war on American companies just triggered a historic response. President Trump signed a Presidential Action initiating Section 301 investigations into the predatory trade practices of 60 economies, with the EU squarely in the crosshairs. The final straw: a fresh $1 billion fine against Google, bringing the EU's total against Google alone past $18 billion — on top of $15 billion against Apple, $3 billion against Meta, and $2.5 billion against Amazon. The penalties will be reversed, substantial tariffs are coming, and the EU will pay a "very big price."
The election integrity crackdown intensified. The White House exposed a Democrat "glitch" that registered thousands of noncitizens to vote — with New Jersey's governor admitting hundreds actually cast ballots due to a so-called "software error." DHS issued $84 billion in fines to illegal immigrants. The SAVE America Act has never been more urgent.
President Trump also delivered remarks at the White House Correspondents' Dinner on July 24, welcomed the LA Dodgers to the White House on July 23, signed an executive order to restore trust in the Smithsonian Institution, and participated in the FIFA World Cup Trophy Ceremony — a full week of American excellence at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

WEEK IN REVIEW
Trump vs. the EU: Section 301 Investigation Launched. After years of watching the European Union levy billions in unjustified fines against America's greatest technology companies, President Trump signed a Presidential Action this week initiating Section 301 investigations into the trade practices of 60 economies, with the EU squarely in the crosshairs. The final straw: a fresh $1 billion fine against Google, bringing the EU's total Google fines alone past $18 billion. Combined with $15 billion against Apple, $3 billion against Meta, and $2.5 billion against Amazon, the systematic targeting of American companies is over. President Trump announced that the penalties will be reversed, a substantial tariff is coming, and the EU will pay a "very big price."
$5B+ AI Moonshot: The Genesis Mission + Ratepayer Protection. The Trump Administration launched the Genesis Mission — a landmark national mission on AI for scientific discovery — backed by more than $5 billion in federal investment. Simultaneously, President Trump secured the Ratepayer Protection Pledge, guaranteeing that America's AI dominance is built without sticking consumers with the bill. The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy released a landmark report on renewing American scientific leadership. And with jobless claims dropping to their lowest level since 1969, the economic case for Trump's America First strategy has never been stronger.
Noncitizen Voting Crackdown — Pass the SAVE America Act Now. The White House exposed a Democrat "glitch" that registered thousands of noncitizens to vote — and New Jersey's Democrat governor admitted that hundreds of them actually cast ballots, blaming a "software error." The administration continues to make the case for the SAVE America Act, which would require proof of citizenship to register. DHS issued a staggering $84 billion in fines to illegal immigrants and ICE arrested illegal aliens convicted of murder and child rape. Treasury separately flagged and blocked $99 million in fraudulent payments to deceased individuals. The crackdown is real and it is working.
Tax Cuts, Tariffs, and a Manufacturing Renaissance. President Trump's Working Families Tax Cuts are delivering results across every state — manufacturers report protected jobs, preserved wages, and economic growth in all 50 states. Trump also imposed a 50% tariff on Canadian goods in direct response to Canada's discrimination against American auto manufacturers. A new executive order mandates that U.S. supply chains become more secure and less dependent on foreign nations. And Trump dealt major blows to Minnesota and California for alleged Medicaid fraud, pausing hundreds of millions in federal payments pending investigation.
WHCA Dinner, FIFA Trophy Ceremony, and Smithsonian Reform. On July 24, President Trump delivered remarks at the White House Correspondents' Dinner — taking the press head-on and making the case for honest, accountable journalism. Earlier in the week, the President participated in the FIFA World Cup Trophy Ceremony, a historic moment as America hosted the world's greatest sporting event. And in a long-overdue move to restore American values in our national cultural institutions, President Trump signed an executive order to restore trust in the Smithsonian Institution, directing the removal of politically driven exhibits from America's taxpayer-funded museums.

President Trump welcomed the Los Angeles Dodgers to the White House on July 23 to celebrate their World Series championship — honoring the reigning champions on the South Lawn.
NUMBER OF THE WEEK
$84B
Eighty-four billion dollars in fines issued by DHS to illegal immigrants under the Trump administration — the most aggressive enforcement posture in American history. Illegal immigration has consequences.
@realDonaldTrump
"The European Union is at it again and, as usual, taking direct aim at GREAT American Companies! After having fined Apple, for no reason at all, 15 Billion Dollars, Meta, 3 Billion Dollars, Amazon 2.5 Billion Dollars, and many others, we have just been informed that Google, a truly advanced and amazing group, has been fined yet another 1 Billion Dollars, without explanation. This brings the Google total to over 18 Billion Dollars! This illegal and highly discriminatory practice started at these high levels during the first year of the Sleepy Joe Biden Administration, but it's not going to continue during the Trump Administration. The United States of America is not a 'PIGGYBANK' for Europe, nor will we allow it to be! Please let this TRUTH serve to represent that we will immediately initiate a 301 Investigation into the practice of 'ROBBING' American Companies and, in turn, the American Taxpayer. The European Union will pay a very big price for this illegal and highly unethical conduct,
which I have consistently warned them about. The penalties will be entirely reversed and, we anticipate, a substantial TARIFF to be placed on them at the earliest possible moment. Stay tuned! President DONALD J. TRUMP"
