The Golden Dome and the US flag on Mars. Trump spoke to Congress

Trump’s current performance is a traditional message “On the situation of the country”, with which US presidents turn to Congress, as a rule, at the beginning of the year.

Trump called his actions to restructure the country “quick and inexorable”. “People chose me to perform this work, and I do it,” he said.

Donald Trump said that the department to improve the efficiency of the US Government (DOGE), which is led by Ilon Musk, “will return the democracy of this unaccountable bureaucracy.” According to him, Musk has already revealed a series of “abuse”. Trump repeated the statements that tens of millions of dead people over 100 years old allegedly receive social security payments, forcing some democrats to scream: “Not true!” And “this is a lie!”

“Among my most important priorities is to save our economy and provide significant and immediate assistance to working families,” Trump said. He promised to achieve a reduction in eggs and energy costs, accusing Joe Biden in the current situation of his predecessor-democrat.

In his speech, Donald Trump said the actions of the administration of the 46th US President Joe Biden led to a sharp increase in inflation in the country and economic disaster. “As you know, we have inherited an economic catastrophe and an inflation nightmare from the previous administration. Their policy led to an increase in energy prices, increased the cost of food and made the first necessities inaccessible to millions and millions of Americans, and they never had anything similar. We experienced the worst inflation for 48 years, and maybe throughout the history of our country, they are, they are. (Experts) are not sure.

“One of the main directions of our fight against inflation is the rapid decrease in the cost of energy resources. The previous administration reduced the number of new rental contracts for oil and gas production by 95%, stopped the construction of pipelines and closed more than 100 power plants. Now we are opening many of these power plants. And frankly, we have never seen anything like that,” Trump said.

The US President announced his intention to introduce new, return duties on imported goods since April 2. “If you do not produce your product in America, then under the Trump administration you will pay tariffs, and in some cases quite significant. Other countries have used duties against us for decades, and now we are our turn to use them against them. On average, the European Union, China, Brazil, Mexico and Canada charge much higher duties from us than we from them. This is extremely unfair,” said tram.

The president emphasized that he initially wanted to set the date of the tariffs on April 1, but decided to transfer it to April 2 to avoid associations with the day of the fool. “I am a very superstitious person. On April 2, mutual tariffs come into force. Whatever they put on us, we will put on them. It will be a mutual action: no matter what they do, we will answer the same,” Trump said.

“India charges us with car tariffs above 100%. China’s average tariff for our goods is twice higher than ours, and South Korea is four times higher. Think about this: four times higher! And at the same time we provide a huge military and other help. But this is what they do with us,” the US President said. Trump also noted that new measures are aimed at protecting the American market from unfair competition. “We will receive trillions of dollars and create an unprecedented number of jobs,” the head of state emphasized.

Trump promised to make a “historical decision” for the extraction of rare earth metals in the United States. “Later this week, I will make a historical decision on a significant expansion of the extraction of the most important rare -earth metals here in the United States,” he said.

The Congressman from the US Democratic Party El Green tried to interrupt Donald Trump’s performance in the US Congress, after which the guard led him out of the hall by order of the speaker of the House of Representatives of Mike Johnson.

According to Trump, the US government plans to develop and deploy a new Golden Dome missile defense system (Golden Dome). “As the commander in chief, I am focused on creating the most powerful army of the future. As a first step, I ask Congress to finance the creation of the most modern Golden Dome missile defense to protect our homeland,” he said.

The American president confirmed that he intends to “restore control” over the Panama Canal. “My administration will restore control of the Panama channel, and we have already begun this,” Trump said. “Marco Rubio will be responsible. Good luck, Marco. Now we know who to blame if something goes wrong.”

Trump turned to the “beautiful people of Greenland” with an appeal to decide on his future and join the United States.

Trump sharply criticized the Biden administration during the withdrawal of American forces from Afghanistan. He informed the congressmen that the “main terrorist” was detained in Afghanistan and was being taken to the United States.

The President, turning to the Steve Vitkoff, who was present in the hall in the hall, announced the desire to free all the hostages held by terrorists in gas.

He also announced the desire to stop the war in Ukraine, mentioning that the United States spent billions of dollars on the support of Ukraine without any guarantees of money returning, “we probably spent $ 350 billion,” Trump said again, noting that Europe spent $ 100 billion on this war. He also said: “I received an important letter from the President of Zelensky.” In this letter, according to Trump, Vladimir Zelensky declares readiness for peace and readiness to sign an agreement on rare -earth metals. Russia, according to him, is also ready for peace negotiations. “Well, isn’t that wonderful?” He repeated twice.

Trump did not talk about the suspension of military assistance to Ukraine.

Mentioning the attempt in the pre -election period, Trump said: “It is not for nothing that God saved me so that I again make America great”

“We will install an American flag on the planet Mars. And not only on the planet Mars, but also further,” the US President said.

It is noteworthy that Trump in his speech said almost nothing about China. Analysts note that Trump’s speech to Congress was one of the longest speeches of American presidents in history.
