Your guide to what the US 2024 elections are for Washington and the world
Despite the fact that only six weeks, Trump told his audience that “reached more than 43 days than most administrations have been reached four years, and we are just beginning.”
Half of the legislators threw and cheered when he spoke, and the other half remained mostly silent.
The President used a combat speech – the longest such appeal – to be attacked by an administrative state, holding back military assistance to Ukraine and repression of border security security.
Democrats: “These people won’t clap their hands”
In an unusually guerrilla address, reminiscent of the stumps of the company, Trump repeatedly treated and criticized the Democrats, emphasizing the deep cracks that share the United States.
Democratic congressman Al Green interrupted the president in a few minutes of speech, shouting that he had “no mandate to cut Medicaid”, a health insurance program, which relied on low -income Americans.
Texas was thrown out of the camera for stopping the president and stopped the appeal by setting a tone for a confrontational night.
As Trump said, the Democrats made signs, reading “false” and “lies”, while many wore pink to protest against the influence of the president’s policy on women. Before finishing the conversation, he left the camera.
“These people who sit here will not clap, they will not stand and will definitely not encourage these astronomical achievements,” Trump said.
Greenland: “We’re going to get”
Trump repeated the call for Greenland to become part of the United States, addressing the residents of the island directly and promising to make them both “safe” and “rich”.
“I also have a message today for the incredible people of Greenland,” Trump said. “We strongly support your right to determine your own future, and if you choose, we welcome you to the United States.”
But his reconciliation tone quickly became more aggressive when he promised, “I think we will get it, one way or another.”
While polls believe that Grenders are little interested in joining the United States, the president insisted that ownership of the Danish territory are key to US national security.
“We will keep you safe, we will make you rich, and together we will take Greenland to height as you have never thought before,” Trump told the Islands.
Ukraine: “You have to talk on both sides”
Trump insisted that it was time to end this meaningless war in Ukraine, and that the “beautiful” peaceful deal was within reach three years after the full invasion of Moscow – and a day after he froze the military aid of Kiev.
The president said that earlier on Tuesday he received a letter from the Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky, which believes that the country is ready to sign a transaction with the minerals supported by the United States, only a few days after two leaders publicly collided with the Oval Cabinet.
But he also defended information about Vladimir Putin and said he “received strong signals” that Moscow was “ready for peace”.
“It’s time to stop this madness,” he said. “Time to stop killing. Time to end this meaningless war. If you want to end the wars you have to talk to both sides.”
Cultural Wars: “Our country will no longer wake up”
Trump has repeatedly fallen on dividing social issues, insisting that he will restore “common sense” and remove “unhappiness” from American society once and for all.
The President has advertised executive orders that prohibit transgender athletes from women’s sports, defining two official gender and holding back “tyranny” of diversity, justice and inclusion.
“Healthy has become a common topic, and we will never go back,” he said with vocal applause of republican benches. “Our country will no longer wake up. . . The problem is problems. The misfortune is bad. That’s gone. “
