‘American truckers are really the foot soldiers that are carrying us to victory’

President Trump met with several truckers who drove to the White House and parked their trucks on the South Lawn.

“In the war against the virus, American truckers are really the foot soldiers that are carrying us to victory,” the president said.

One trucker said that the “true heroes” were the medical experts and health officials working during this crisis, and that he was honored to provide them with much-needed medical equipment.

“At a time of widespread shutdowns, truck drivers form the lifeblood of our economy,” Trump said.

 

President Trump gave each trucker who attended the White House gathering a golden colored key to show America’s appreciation for all they do.

“For days and sometimes weeks on end, truck drivers leave their homes and deliver supplies that American families need and count on during this national crisis and at all other times,” Trump said.

The President noted the country’ appreciation of truckers, through acts of kindness like offering them food and showing support as they continued to serve so many of their fellow countrymen.
