Key points from Trump’s speech:
Corporate Tax Cuts: Trump plans to cut the corporate tax rate from 21% to 15% for companies that manufacture domestically. He criticized Harris’s proposal to increase the corporate tax rate to 28%.
Government Efficiency Commission: At the suggestion of Elon Musk, Trump proposes creating a commission to audit the federal government for financial and performance efficiency. He stated that Musk has endorsed him and agreed to lead this commission.

He plans to declare a national emergency to increase domestic energy supply, rapidly approve new energy infrastructure projects, and end electric vehicle mandates.
