TRUMP APPRECIATES QATAR
(Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, yesterday President Donald
Trump and His Highness Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani of Qatar signed
a historic $1.2 trillion trade agreement, including the purchase of $96
billion of South Carolina-made Boeing 787 Dreamliners.
As the manufacturing home of 787 Dreamliners, this creates thousands
of Boeing jobs in South Carolina and also creates jobs for 200
suppliers throughout the Palmetto State, including AGY of Aiken, Zeus
of Orangeburg, and Prysmian of Lexington.
I congratulate Boeing President Kelly Ortberg and the Boeing team.
President Trump is delivering on his promise to bring back Made in
America, promoting stability in the Middle East, and liberating Syria.
In conclusion, God bless our troops as the global war on terrorism
continues. Trump is reinstituting existing laws to protect American
families with peace through strength, revealing war criminal Putin
lies, and yesterday Putin threatening Estonia with Russian overflights
in the Baltic Sea, verified today by European Parliamentarian Rihards
Kols of Latvia.
