America First Agenda Summit is organized by the American First Policy Institute (AFPI), an organization created following the inauguration of Donald Trump in 2017 to promote the America First policy agenda of his administration.

The AFPI describes itself on its website as a “non-profit, non-partisan research institute. AFPI exists to advance policies that put the American people first. Our guiding principles are liberty, free enterprise, national greatness, American military superiority, foreign-policy engagement in the American interest, and the primacy of American workers, families and communities in all we do.”

It is run by a group of top Trump advisers and Cabinet officials working to put a policy agenda in place for the next Republican president.

The group is headed by Brooke Rollins, Trump’s former White House domestic policy adviser. It includes former top economic adviser Larry Kudlow, former national security adviser Robert O’Brien, top aide Kellyanne Conway, and former Energy Secretary Rick Perry.

“It wasn’t that long ago that America was flourishing. Paychecks were growing. Poverty was shrinking. The price of gas was down. The stock market was up. And there were no new wars. What a difference 16 months makes,” Brooke Rollins, President and CEO of AFPI and former Director of the White House Domestic Policy Council under President Trump said.

“The America First Policy Institute is excited to welcome President Donald Trump back to Washington, D.C. Our team will introduce a policy agenda that will get our country back on the right track. These policies worked before, and they will work again. America’s future is America First!”

Trump will be at the Marriott Marquis, where he will be giving the keynote speech at the summit. Other people that have spoken at the two-day summit include Republican politicians such as House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson and Senator from South Carolina Lindsey Graham.

Mark Lotter, the communications officer of the America First Policy Institute, told CNN that Trump is “still the leader of the America First movement”.

“He is the biggest name. He’s the visionary behind many of the policies that got him elected to the White House,” Lotter said. “And when you look at what’s going on in America right now, so many people are clamoring for that kind of policy leadership back. They want cheap gas, growing paychecks, soaring stock markets and not what we have right now.”
