In his first address to Congress since returning to office, Donald Trump is set to promise a "renewal of the American dream," outlining a vision of expanded presidential power and a reshaped global order.
The speech, which comes after his first six weeks in office, will highlight his administration’s achievements, the economy, border funding, and his efforts toward global peace, reports AFP.
Trump’s presidency has been marked by bold moves, including attempts to overhaul the federal government with the influence of his advisor, Elon Musk, to close down agencies and fire many workers. His policies have disrupted global relations, including halting military aid to Ukraine, pivoting toward Russia, imposing tariffs on allies, and aiming to control Gaza.
The White House emphasized the speech’s theme of "renewal" through social media and Fox News reports. Trump’s Deputy Chief of Staff, Stephen Miller, praised his oratory skills, calling his addresses some of the most impactful. Trump himself has promised a candid and bold presentation of his administration’s accomplishments.
Trump will discuss domestic issues, including executive orders dismantling federal agencies, ending diversity programs, and addressing undocumented migrants. On the international front, he will talk about efforts to redefine U.S. foreign policy, including freezing aid to Ukraine and opening talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Despite his triumphant tone, Trump faces economic pressure, particularly from tariffs affecting the U.S. economy, as stock markets fall in response. He also confronts the challenge of addressing inflation and resolving the fallout from his 2024 election loss while continuing his agenda of "Make America Great Again." The speech, set to take place at the Capitol, will showcase Trump's determination to exert more executive power.
