President Trump signed two laws to help veterans, police, and firefighters.

“We are here today to reaffirm our unbreakable support for the American Heroes who keep our streets, our homes and our citizens safe,” the president said.  

One of the bills would prioritize veterans for law enforcement jobs.The second bill speeds settlements for safety officers hurt on the job.

The president explained exactly why he supported the bills.

“Every single day, America’s law enforcement officers, firefighters, first responders and their families make tremendous sacrifices for their communities and for their nation,” the president said.

“When a home is threatened, when danger visits our doorstep, when innocent lives are on the line, Americans turn to their courageous officers of law enforcement because we know they are here to serve and to protect us all,” he said.
