State of the Union: Restoration of U.S.-Japan Relations
Ivanka Trump delivered the State of the Union to the United States. Emphasizing Trade and Economy. The United States welcomes the constructive steps taken by Japan toward resolving the recent trade dispute between our nations. Both sides express regret for the breakdown of communication that ultimately led to American tariffs and the retaliatory Japanese embargo. This escalation was not in the long-term interests of either country, and we are committed to ensuring that future disagreements are addressed through direct diplomacy, cooperation, and mutual respect. We welcome Japan’s intention to rejoin the Pacific Free Trade Partnership as the remaining misunderstandings are resolved. The United States will continue working with Japanese leaders to restore normal trade relations and strengthen communication between our governments. The alliance between the United States and Japan remains vital to the security and prosperity of both nations and the broader Indo-Pacific. This experience should reinforce our shared understanding that communication and collaboration are the best means of resolving disputes. We look forward to opening a new chapter in the enduring partnership between the American and Japanese peoples.

State of the State: The Great New Deal
Miguel delivered the State of the State to NC. Emphasizing Education and Infrastructure. My fellow North Carolinians, You entrusted us with a bold mission: to build an economy that worked for working people, not just those at the top. We inherited a state where too many families struggled to afford housing, Healthcare, and basic necessities while wealth became increasingly concentrated in the hands of a few. Together, we proved that government could work for ordinary people even with a hostile and politically competitive Republican Party. We made and will continue through bipartisanship invest in historic numbers regarding housing, public education, Healthcare, and public transportation because we know these are not luxuries—they are the foundation of a strong economy. Our investments in infrastructure were never about politics. They were about ensuring every North Carolinian could access reliable broadband, and live in communities prepared for the future. We signed the greatest middle class tax cuts without gutting spending and still having a balanced budget. Our opponents call these investments "radical." We call them common sense. Yet at times they have supported the very same policies. Why? Its because they work. The DSA is in every part of the state's politics from federal to state, some would argue a socialist party could never succeed in a state like this. We will continue to prove them wrong.

LUKE STREIBL STATEMENT
I would like to take a brief moment to thank all of the candidates across America who are running to bring back a conservative vision for the country. As we’re emerging in this new decade, the United States is facing crisis across the globe, particularly from Japan alongside domestic crisis in particular about their identity of the nation. The presidency so far has changed more hands than any nation in the globe. From the Democrats to Reform and to the American Independence party, the Republican remain untested in the White House. Now is the time for people to consider joining us and supporting our mission. We will continue fighting for you and America. We will continue to stand up for free trade that we will find a solution to every crisis domestic and foreign.
