Ro Khanna Unveils 14-Point U.S. Rebuild Plan as Trump Backs $300 Billion Iran Framework

Summary
Ro Khanna released a 14-point domestic agenda framed as a response to Washington’s focus on foreign conflicts, pitching jobs, lower household costs and an end to overseas wars.
The plan ties that argument to Trump’s June 17 memorandum with Iran, which envisions at least $300 billion for reconstruction after reopening the Strait of Hormuz, though Trump says the U.S. will not directly fund it.
Key proposals include Medicare for All, a zero-down mortgage guarantee for first-time buyers with seven years of work, free childcare for families earning under $250,000 and 1 million civil-service jobs costing about $60 billion a year.
Khanna also calls for a National Industrial Bank to help build 100 factories, a $25 federal minimum wage by 2032, 1,000 new trade schools, free public college for families under $150,000 and up to $50,000 in student-debt relief.
To pay for it, he backs a 5% tax on 938 billionaires holding $8.2 trillion, which he says would raise $4.4 trillion over 10 years, alongside a pledge to cut $1 trillion in Pentagon spending.
