The speech brought to the sensitive chamber in which several Democrats conducted signs of protest, closing several months dramatic when Trump has unleashed an aggressive agenda to rearrange the US trade and foreign policy.
On this day, Trump introduced 25 percent tariffs on Canada and Mexico, US largest trading partners, as well as an additional 10 percent of China, sending reserves.
During his address, Trump defended his tariffs, claiming that the measures were “not only in the defense of US jobs, they talk about the protection of the soul of our country.” However, he acknowledged that the fees would lead to “violations”.
Trump said he had received a letter from Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky, showing that Kyiv is ready to sign a transaction of his minerals. The US president added that he had “serious discussions with Russia and received strong signals that they are ready for peace.”
The reconciliation remarks come on the heels to move Trump to cut off the military aid of Kiev, as well as the breaking of the oval office last week with Zelenskyy.
Trump also promised to balance the federal budget, as well as saying it would go forward with a planned tax reduction. He added that his administration “abandon power from this uncertain bureaucracy” amid an aggressive jolt to reduce the federal government’s expenses.
Trump boasted “the broadest repression of the border and immigration in American history” and promised to quickly surround and deport migrants with criminal records.
He said he would “get” Greenland, the Arctic Island, which he repeatedly said he wanted to take on “one way or another.”
