Trump orders expanded broadband access in rural U.S.
UPI, Jan 8, 2018, Daniel Uria

Jan. 8 (UPI) -- President Donald Trump unveiled an agriculture initiative to bring broadband Internet to rural areas of the United States during a speech Monday in Tennessee.

Trump signed two executive orders after addressing the American Farm Bureau Federation's annual convention in Nashville in response to a report by the Interagency Task Force on Agriculture and Rural prosperity.

"Those towers are going to go up and and you're going to have great, great broadband," Trump told the crowd.

The head of the task force, Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue, introduced the president, who said the orders will seek to provide "broader, faster and better" Internet coverage.
