WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) released the following statement following President Donald J. Trump’s Joint Address to Congress.

“What we heard tonight from President Trump is a commitment to American Greatness. We heard about promises made and promises kept. President Trump is keeping his promise to bring back American energy dominance. He’s already taken the handcuffs off of affordable, reliable, American energy. He pulled the plug on the Biden electric vehicle mandate.

“President Trump is keeping his promise to deport criminal illegal aliens and to secure the border. Already the number of illegal immigrants crossing the southern border has plummeted. Our communities are safer.

“President Trump is keeping his promise to root out waste, fraud, and abuse in the federal government. This is saving American taxpayers billions of dollars.

“As the Majority Whip and a member of the Senate Finance Committee, I’m working closely with the Trump administration to stop the Democrats’ $4 trillion tax increase. It would be the biggest tax increase ever.

“We need to make sure Wyoming families, workers, and job creators are strong. I share President Trump’s excitement and optimism about America’s future. America’s Golden Age is just beginning.”
