Trump issued a statement to celebrate the 222nd anniversary of the Lewis and Clark Expedition. This message is part of the America 250 program which marks 250 years of American independence.
The message honors the explorers who traveled from Illinois to the Pacific Ocean starting in 1804. It describes how their journey helped the United States grow and claim new land in the West.
The statement mentions the important help provided by Native American tribes and the guide Sacagawea. It credits the expedition with creating maps and records that helped other people move west later on.
This action is ceremonial and does not change any current laws or government programs. It is intended to celebrate the American spirit of exploration and the bold actions of the past.
