Trump released a statement to celebrate the 161st anniversary of the U.S. Secret Service. The message honors the agents and staff who protect national leaders and the country's financial systems.
The message highlights the history of the agency, which was created in 1865 to stop people from making fake money. It later started protecting the president after William McKinley was killed in 1901.
Today, the agency has over 8,000 workers. They protect the president, vice president, their families, and visiting foreign leaders. They also investigate financial crimes to keep the U.S. dollar safe.
The statement notes that the Secret Service is currently providing security for the 250th anniversary of American independence. This includes large events like the Salute to America Rally on the National Mall.
