President Donald Trump delivered a defiant address before Congress, vowing to continue his campaign of “swift and unrelenting action” to reshape the nation’s economy, immigration, and foreign policy. The speech, which lasted a record 99 minutes, was met with dissent from Democratic lawmakers who held up placards calling out “lies” and one legislator was ejected.
In his speech, Trump promised to deliver sweeping change to rescue the nation from what he described as destruction and mistakes left by his predecessor. He emphasized his commitment to dismantle parts of the federal government, remake America’s place in the world, and impose tariffs that have sparked trade wars.
The president’s address came at a critical juncture in his presidency, amidst economic chaos and uncertainty. He doubled down on his trade policies, which experts warn will raise prices for consumers, while promising to prioritize relief for working families and continuing his border crackdown efforts.
Trump’s speech also touched on his proposals for fostering peace in Ukraine and the Middle East, where he has overturned the policies of the previous administration in a matter of weeks. He also announced the arrest of a suspect in the 2021 Kabul airport bombing.
The speech, which was the longest annual address a president has ever delivered to Congress, was met with mixed reactions from lawmakers and guests in attendance. Republican lawmakers cheered the conclusion of Trump’s speech, while Democrats expressed dissent with signs and interruptions.
