Six takeaways from Trump’s big speech

BBC News, Washington
President Donald Trump announced that “the American dream is not suspected” because he addressed a noisy joint session of the American conference for the first time since he returned to power.
In the longest presidential discourse for the legislators on the record, he set his vision for his second period, as the Republicans applauded six weeks of octane that reshaped local and foreign policy.
Trump was subjected to the Democrats and overwhelmed them during a full -time start speech, during which he said that his administration was “just began.”
The Republican President moved to the reduction of the federal workforce and a decision to immigrate, with a tariff for the largest commercial partners in America and shake the via Atlantic alliance on the war in Ukraine.
Here are six main fast food.
Trump predicts a rugged ride to the definitions
After a second day of the market turmoil, Trump reduced the potential economic repercussions of the trade war that it ignited this week, including a 25 % tariff on Mexico and Canada, and an additional 10 % on Chinese imports.
But in contrast to the applause that received the goals of his other policy, many Republicans remained sitting, a sign of how Trump’s taxes were divided into his party.
“The definitions are about making America rich again and making America great again,” he said.
“This happens. It will happen quickly. There will be little disorder, but we are well with that. It will not be much.”
Trump added that the mutual definitions designed with American commercial partners “will start” on April 2.
Earlier in the day, US Trade Minister Howard Lootnik Fox Business told Trump that he could announce a trade deal with Mexico and Canada on Wednesday.
The United States and Ukraine can fix relations
Trump said he had received an “important speech” from the leader of Ukraine earlier in the day, which appears to be in public on social media.
Ukraine president said he is now ready to work under Trump’s strong leadership to end the war and “Come to the negotiating table as soon as possible to bring permanent peace.”
“I can send this message,” Trump told legislators.
Zelensky offered the olive branch a day after Trump stopped all military aid to the besieged US ally.
After that, a sharp oval office meeting came last week when the two leaders argued in front of television cameras, before canceling plans to sign the metal deal that allows the United States to profit from an economic partnership that involves Ukraine’s resources.
According to Trump, he hoped to announce during his speech to Congress that the deal had recently been closed. But it was not fulfilled.
Greenland in his eyes, Lesoto is not
Although most of his 99 -minute speech focuses on local issues, Trump’s views of the world sharply.
There are places in the world that wants to expand our influence and others as it wants to withdraw.
Repeated his desire to obtain the United States to obtain Greenland, pledge “We will get it – in one way or another. He said that his administration “will recover” the Panama channel.
There were many signals from African countries when he shook a long list of aid programs funded by American taxpayers who photographed them as ridiculous.
Liberia, Mali, Mozambique and Uganda were all places in which he suggested that money be lost.
But his most brief notes were about Lesoto, which he said was a country that no one has heard before “despite receiving $ 8 million (6.2 million pounds) to enhance gay rights.
The government responded there quickly.
“For my amazement,” the country that no one has heard is “the country in which the United States has a permanent mission.”
He stood besides musk despite the protests against discounts
Early of Trump’s name, he planned his billionaire consultant Illon Musk, who was watching from the exhibition.
The TECH MOGULO -affiliated Implementation Squad has moved to the launch of tens of thousands of federal workers, and has been reduced billions of dollars in external aid programs and cutting programs throughout the United States.
Spacex and Tesla head, wearing a dark suit with a blue tie, stood up and confessed to chants from the crowd.
“Thank you, Elon,” said 78 -year -old. “He is working hard. He didn’t need this.”
Musk discounts sparked some angry scenes in Town Hall meetings, and instructions for federal employees have sometimes been overturned by Trump’s cabinet members.
In the room, Democratic lawmakers made banners saying “stealing musk” and “error.”
Dogs claims that he has already saved $ 105 billion, but this figure cannot be independently verified. The receipts were published for $ 18.6 billion savings, but accounting errors were reported by the American media that analyzed the numbers.
The democratic decline was high and pink
During the first five minutes of the title, the Green of Texas was taken outside the room by the censor in the weapons after he refused to comply with the demands of the Speaker of the House of Representatives to stop the president from the president and take his seat.
Trump also spoke, other Democrats designed banners saying “This is a lie.”
With the control of Republicans in the White House, the House of Representatives and the Senate, the Democrats were largely without leadership as they were working to refine their message and confront the activity activity from the Trump administration.
Many democratic women arrived at the House of Representatives, wearing pink pants in protest. Dozens of their party – some of them wearing the words “resistance” printed on the appearance of their shirts – came out of the room during the speech.
“There is absolutely nothing I can say to make them happy,” Trump said.
The Democratic Command, Elisa Slotkin, chose Michigan – a member of the first Senate elected in the state of Trump’s Square in November – to provide the official party’s response.
Trump was accused of “an unprecedented gift to his billionaire friends” and warned that he could walk directly to the recession.
He is betting on energy to drop inflation
Trump pledged to the voters that he would overcome inflation upon his return to office and took advantage of the speech to say that his focus was to reduce the cost of energy, by opening the country to new oil and gas drilling.
“We have more liquid gold under our feet more than any nation on the face of the earth, and now, now I completely allow the most talented team to go and get it. It is called drilling, child, pits.”
The high cost of eggs has been the main news in recent weeks, and Trump shows that he was responsible.
He added: “Joe Biden, especially since the price of eggs is out of control – and we are working hard to return it.”
Egg prices rose with the Biden administration directing millions of birds that lay eggs until last year amid the outbreak of bird flu, although prices continued during the early stages of the second Trump presidency.
The inflation was slightly high by 3 % last month, but below the peak of 9.1 % in 2022.
