Trump Says Voters Gave Him Mandate to Curb Immigration and Slash Rules

Former U.S. President Donald Trump claimed he has received a “historic mandate” from voters to tighten controls on illegal immigration, roll back what he called “excessive” federal regulations and pursue further tax cuts. Speaking on 4 July, Trump said the United States must become “independent” of sprawling rule-making and an “invasion of illegal immigrants,” framing the issues as central to his policy agenda should he return to office.
