WEEKLY BRIEFING
Birth Tourism Ended, $2 Billion+ in American Mining Deals, Private Sector Cuts Prices Across Thousands of Items, and Manufacturing at a 4-Year High
President Trump signed two executive orders on August 6 ending birth tourism and protecting the meaning of American citizenship — historic action following the Supreme Court's landmark ruling in Trump v. Barbara. The orders identify categories of children ineligible for birthright citizenship and direct federal agencies to dismantle birth tourism networks. The administration has now completed 15 consecutive months without releasing a single illegal alien into the country, carried out more than 3 million deportations, filed 88 denaturalization claims, removed illegal aliens from voter rolls in multiple states, and terminated taxpayer benefits for more than 1.4 million illegal immigrants.
On August 7, President Trump convened the largest mining industry roundtable in more than 120 years, announcing over $2 billion in new American mining investments. The deals include Sila Nanotechnologies' $1.4 billion investment in silicon-carbon battery anodes and lithium-ion cells in California, Sunrise Energy Metals' $400 million commitment to develop the first primary scandium mine in the United States, and Niron Magnetics' $150 million investment in rare earth-free permanent magnets in Minnesota. Since Inauguration Day, the administration has now signed 160 minerals deals totaling roughly $40 billion — rebuilding the supply chains America abandoned for decades.
The private sector is answering President Trump's call to lower prices. Major retailers including Walmart, Target, Kroger, Giant Eagle, Albertsons, and Costco are cutting prices on thousands of everyday items. Novo Nordisk reduced Ozempic and Wegovy to as low as $199–$350 per month. Pfizer is cutting prices up to 85% through TrumpRx. Energy utilities including Alliant Energy, NiSource, and Entergy have committed a combined $3.4 billion in consumer savings. And automakers Ford and Stellantis are offering employee pricing and 0% financing nationwide.
