EXCLUSIVE VIDEO! President Trump reveals his plan for high-speed Internet in rural areas.
Trump calls for rural internet expansion at Kirkwood Community College

CEDAR RAPIDS — President Donald Trump said Wednesday he will push for increased rural internet access in his proposed $1 trillion infrastructure plan.
His speech to a crowd of about 250 at Kirkwood Community College also served as a send off of sorts for former Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad, who will leave Iowa Friday to serve as the U.S. Ambassador to China.
In his address, Trump hailed American farmers and said his administration will work to “eliminate the intrusive rules that undermine your ability to earn a living.”
“I’m not a farmer, but I’d be very happy to be one. It’s a very beautiful world you live in,” the Republican president said, flanked by a red combine and a green tractor.
