Donald Trump, a Republican presidential candidate, presented his economic vision, proposing a sovereign wealth fund for infrastructure, reduced corporate tax rates for domestic producers, tax exemption on tips, an efficiency panel led by Elon Musk, energy emergency measures, a ban on mortgages for undocumented migrants, and affordable housing initiatives.

Donald Trump, the Republican presidential candidate, outlined his economic vision during a speech at the New York Economic Club. He shared several new proposals aimed at boosting the U.S. economy and addressing various challenges.

Trump announced a plan to establish a sovereign wealth fund intended to finance major infrastructure projects, including highways and airports. This fund would be generated through tariffs and other unspecified methods.

He also proposed reducing the corporate tax rate from 21% to 15% for companies manufacturing within the U.S., continuing his focus on domestic production. Trump reiterated his idea of eliminating income taxes on tips to benefit service workers.

In an effort to enhance government efficiency, he proposed creating a panel led by Elon Musk to address federal waste, fraud, and improper payments. Additionally, Trump pledged to declare a national energy emergency to expedite domestic energy projects by cutting bureaucratic red tape.

Trump suggested a controversial ban on mortgages for undocumented migrants in California, accusing them of inflating housing prices without providing details. He also proposed increasing affordable housing by utilizing federal land for low-tax and low-regulation housing developments.

While some of these ideas had been mentioned before, Trump provided new specifics and tied several policies to his broader goal of stimulating American economic growth.
