President Trump's address to Congress showcased his administration's achievements within the first six weeks, characterized by a defiant stance against Democrats. Speaking for almost two hours, he emphasized the rapid progress made and framed his accomplishments as unparalleled. Trump's rhetoric included a pivot towards Ukraine, indicating openness for negotiations with President Zelensky. Throughout the address, Democrats expressed dissent, underscoring the divided political climate. Despite minimal new policy announcements, he reiterated campaign themes and touted ongoing efforts to address the challenges left by previous administrations.
Mr. Trump argued that it was the Democrats who left him a country besieged by crises, claiming his administration is working to clean them up.
Delivering the longest address to Congress in modern presidential history, Mr. Trump reprised many campaign themes and spoke for roughly one hour 40 minutes.
One day after suspending U.S. military aid to Ukraine, he indicated a willingness to reset the relationship, appreciating President Zelensky's message for peace.
"We have accomplished more in 43 days than most administrations accomplish in four years or eight years, and we are just getting started," he said.
