During his speech before Congress, president Donald Trump announced that he had received a letter from Volodymyr Zelenski. "I just got it. At the same time we had serious talks with Russia" - he betrayed. He besides talked, among others, about plans to recover the Panama Canal and the annexation of Greenland.
Donald Trump utilized his speech in front of the combined chambers of legislature - the first to return to power and the longest in past - to summarize his first weeks in power in frequently hyperbolic words.
"Six weeks ago I stood under the dome of the Capitol and proclaimed the dawn of the Golden Age of America. From that minute on, there was nothing but fast and relentless actions to launch the top and most successful era in the past of our country" - he added. He stated that in 43 days he had achieved more than most of the administration in 4 or 8 years and judged that his first period of presidency was the best in the country's history, even better than George Washington's presidency.
Trump criticized Biden's policy
Trump repeated almost all the themes of his inaugural speech and speeches from the past weeks on issues specified as the economy, deregulation, the imposition of fresh duties, the fight against sex ideology and the participation of transsexuals in women's sports. He blamed his predecessor Joe Biden for leaving the country in economical ruin and claimed that it was his responsibility that egg prices rose, despite their origin being an outbreak of avian influenza and that it occurred after Trump took power. The president besides promised to completely destruct the budget deficit, claiming that it would aid to sale "golden cards" to wealthy foreigners seeking permanent residence in the US. At the same time, he maintained his promises of taxation cuts that are to cost a budget of over $4 trillion.
In addition to cultural issues, including trans-sexists, the president of the United States devoted most of his seat to immigration issues, announcing the "great liberation of America" from the "occupation" of migrants who, in his opinion, destroyed American cities.
"We rapidly reached the lowest number of illegal border crossings always recorded. The media and our friends from the Democratic organization reiterated that we needed a fresh bill to safe the border — but it turned out that we only needed a fresh president," Trump said. At the same time, he appealed to legislature to add the funds needed to carry out "the largest deportation operation in American history".
Trump received an crucial letter from Zelenski
Trump devoted comparatively small space to abroad affairs. Speaking about the war in Ukraine, the president of the United States praised the letter which he received from the president of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenski, previously posted on the X portal, in which the Ukrainian leader expressed regret over an argument in the Oval Office and declared his readiness to "sit to the negotiating table as shortly as possible to bring about the accomplishment of lasting peace" and to sign the agreement on minerals. Contrary to erstwhile reports, Trump has not announced any breakthrough on this agreement.
"I appreciate this letter. I just got it. At the same time, we had serious talks with Russia and received strong signals that they were ready for peace. Wouldn't that be beautiful?" Trump said. "It's time to end this madness," he noted.
Trump besides reiterated the criticism expressed many times before against Europe, exaggerating the scale of US support for Ukraine (he spoke again about 350 billion dollars, while in fact it is about 120 billion) and underestimated Europe's contribution (he said 100 billion, while it is actually over 140 billion).
"Unfortunately Europe has spent more money on buying Russian oil and gas than on defending Ukraine – much more! And Biden approved more money for this fight than Europe spent" - said the leader. erstwhile he said that the US had spent "hundreds of billions of dollars" to support Ukraine, these words were greeted with applause from Democrats, to which Trump accused them of wanting the war to last "another 5 years."
The president of the United States announced the recovery of the Panama Canal and the accession of Greenland
The president again announced "the recovery of the Panama Canal", claiming that "it had already begun doing so", pointing to the redemption by the American BlackRock fund of majority shares in ports over the Panama Canal from the Chinese company Hutchinson. He besides spoke again about joining Greenland in the United States. This time, alternatively of speaking straight about annexation, he supported the island's people's efforts to "determine their own future".
"If you so choose, we will welcome you to the United States of America," he said. Immediately thereafter, however, he added that Greenland was needed by the US "for reasons of national and global security" and promised that "it would get it 1 way or another".
During the speech, Trump besides announced the capture of a terrorist of the muslim State who was to be behind the assassination of the Abbey Gate gate at Kabul Airport during the evacuation of US troops from Afghanistan. This assassination killed 13 American soldiers and 170 Afghan civilians. The president of the United States has stated that an unnamed terrorist is on his way to the country.
Like during the inaugural speech, Trump besides announced the US flag's collapse on Mars.
The President's speech, although formally not an yearly state message, was held according to the same ceremony. It lasted an hr and 39 minutes and was the longest in history. The erstwhile evidence besides belonged to Trump, as well as Bill Clinton, and was an hr and 22 minutes.
As usual, the event was full of symbolic and theatrical gestures. Trump pointed out during the speech invited guests, including the parent killed by an illegal immigrant girl Jocelyn Nungaray (in honor of whom he called the nature reserve), a border service agent shot by migrants, a steel plant individual to whom he is expected to defend the duties he imposed on steel and aluminum, or a brain cancer-stricken 13-year-old boy whom he officially appointed a Secret Service agent, according to his dream.
Democratic organization Congressmen demonstrated their opposition to Trump's policy towards Ukraine by means of pin with Ukrainian flags and blue-yellow ties. They besides invited people affected by Trump's politics to the gallery, including officials fired by Elon Musk DOGE. Others kept signs that said "Musk steals." any Democrats dressed in T-shirts with the inscription "Resist" ("resist") came out of the area during the President's speech. Already at the beginning of the Chamber, Democratic Congressman Al Green was removed, who tried to shout Trump and disrupt his speech.
As all year, there was a associate of the president's cabinet who stayed in an undisclosed place at the time, so that, in the event of the death of the another members of the cabinet, he could guarantee the sustainability of governments. This time the function was given to veteran minister Doug Collins.
