'This Nov, We Are Going to Tell Harris...': Trump Pledges to Curb Inflation at Pennsylvania Rally

Pennsylvania: Former US President Donald Trump reiterated his commitments towards tackling inflation, advocating for working-class Americans, rooting out government corruption, and promoting free speech. His remarks came during a rally at Johnstown in Pennsylvania on Friday. 

Asserting to enhance the lives of Americans, Trump said, "We will defeat inflation, and we will make America affordable again. Together, we are fighting to secure our borders, end the endless foreign wars, and defend the working people of America... We are joining forces to defeat government corruption, to restore free speech, and to make America healthy again."

The Republican Presidential nominee exuded confidence of winning November 5 elections. 

Taking to X, Trump later said, "I was thrilled to be back in the beautiful Commonwealth of Pennsylvania with thousands of proud, hardworking American Patriots—67 days from now, we are going to win Pennsylvania, we are going to defeat Comrade Kamala Harris, and we are going to win the White House!"

Sharing details of his agenda for the United States, the Republican Presidential nominee said that he will work towards making the country a dominant energy producer in the world and claimed the country will experience a reduction in energy costs, with households seeing their energy bills decrease by 50 per cent, news agency ANI reported.

"We will make America the dominant energy producer in the world, by far! We have more liquid gold under our feet than any other country. And we will use it to reduce taxes and energy costs for our people. In 12 months, we will cut your energy bills in half--that includes heating, air conditioning, electricity, and gasoline," he said.

We want more babies to be born in America: Trump

The Ex-President highlighted his support for IVF and said, "Yesterday, I also made a major new announcement: If I am elected this November, for the first time ever, your government will pay for, or require insurance companies to pay for, all costs associated with IVF fertility treatment. We want more babies to be born in America," Trump said.

Notably, in an interview with NBC News, Trump vowed to safeguard access to in-vitro fertilisation (IVF) treatments if he returned to power and promised to explore options for government or insurance coverage for American women who require this procedure.
Trump also vowed to scrap the Green New Deal, and use those funds towards America's infrastructure.

"We will cut wasteful and unnecessary spending--and we will terminate the Green New Deal and spend that money on roads, bridges, real infrastructure and paying down debt, not fake infrastructure that has caused massive inflation and no benefits," he said.

The Republican candidate also shared his views on tariff taxes and said, "If China or any other country charges us a 100 per cent or 200 per cent tariff or tax, we will then charge them a 100 per cent or 200 per cent tariff or tax in return. I will end the Electric Vehicle mandate. I will cut every job-killing regulation of the Harris-Biden administration."

'You Deserve a President Who Respects You'

Trump also attacked Vice President Kamala Harris during the rally and said, “Kamala Harris surrendered our energy independence -- She's vowed repeatedly to ban fracking... Then she said 'I'm in favour of fracking' -- The people of Pennsylvania are smart. They will not fall for it. If you do not have fracking, you do not have a commonwealth.” 

He added, "[Kamala] can hide, she can lie through her surrogates and the corrupt media but the truth will win out. The American people are smart, they will not be manipulated by Hollywood, the fake news media and all of the advertising. And you deserve a president who respects you, talks to you, who levels with you, and who always has your best interests at heart... This November, we are going to tell Harris we have had enough."
