Miami, FL - President Donald Trump delivered a keynote speech Wednesday at the America Business Forum at the Kaseya Center in downtown Miami, focusing on the economy, regulation cuts, and his criticism of Democratic leadership.
Air Force One landed at Miami International Airport at 12:25 p.m., and Trump arrived at the arena shortly after noon as motivational speaker Tony Robbins was on stage.
The crowd cheered as Trump took the podium, marking the anniversary of his reelection and listing what he described as major accomplishments, including what he called “the biggest regulation cut in history.”
Trump accused congressional Democrats of causing a “reckless” government shutdown and criticized New York City’s newly elected mayor, Zohran Mamdani, calling him a socialist.
He told the audience, “If you want to see what congressional Democrats wish to do to America, just look at the result of yesterday’s election in New York.”
Turning to the economy, Trump said prices were falling and described the return of the “American dream,” claiming progress on inflation and job growth.
Miami Mayor Francis Suarez presented Trump with a ceremonial key to the city, thanking him for his leadership and joking that it “opens some really nice presidential library real estate.”
The two-day event also featured speakers including Eric Schmidt, Jamie Dimon, Serena Williams, Rafael Nadal, and Jeff Bezos, with partnerships from major corporations and institutions such as Royal Caribbean, American Airlines, and Florida International University.
