What is the focus of President Trump's speech to Congress?
Hallo, ich bin Oliver Conway und wir machen das hier auf 4.30 Uhr auf GMT, am Dienstag, den 5. März. Donald Trump hat den längsten jahrelangen Präsidentensprache im Kongress geliefert. Er hat gesagt, er hätte mehr erreicht, seit er 43 Tage vor der Regierung zurückgekehrt ist, als die meisten Regierungen in vier oder acht Jahren.
How did President Trump address international relations and trade?
In der Ukraine hat er Präsident Zelenskyj bedankt, dass er rausgekommen ist und gesagt hat, dass er von Russland starke Signale bekommen hat, dass es bereit ist für Frieden. The US leader also defended his imposition of tariffs on America's main trading partners, while acknowledging they could cause disruption. There were frequent chants of USA from Republicans and protests from Democrats, one of who was kicked out of the chamber. We'll hear the main points of the President's speech and get analysis from Washington. Every year the US President gives an address to the joint houses of the US Congress, highlighting recent achievements and outlining priorities for the year ahead.
What were the reactions within Congress during Trump's speech?
It's a chance to speak directly to a huge television audience. President Donald Trump, a consummate showman, has been a near permanent fixture on our screen since his second inauguration just over six weeks ago. But the speech on Tuesday night primetime allowed him to use the full political pageantry of the United States to get his message across.
To my fellow citizens, America is back.
What are the key messages from President Trump's address?
Mr. Trump spoke for more than an hour and a half, the longest ever presidential speech to Congress, covering tariffs, illegal immigration and free speech. There were cheers from Republicans and some protests from Democrats. The House Speaker Mike Johnson even ordered Democratic Congressman Al Green to be removed from the chamber for heckling Mr. Trump. Here's a flavour of the event.
Mr. Green, take your seat. Take your seat, sir. Take your seat. Finding that members continue to engage in willful and concerted disruption of proper decorum, the chair now directs the sergeant-at-arms to restore order. Remove this gentleman from the chamber.
America's momentum is back. Our spirit is back. Our pride is back. Our confidence is back. And the American dream is surging bigger and better than ever before. The American dream is unstoppable and our country is on the verge of a comeback, the likes of which the world has never witnessed and perhaps will never witness again. I have created the brand new Department of Government Efficiency. GOJ. Perhaps you've heard of it. Which is headed by Elon Musk, who is in the gallery tonight. Thank you, Elon. He's working very hard. He didn't need this. Thank you very much. We appreciate it. Everybody here, even this side, appreciates it, I believe. They just don't want to admit that. Tariffs are not just about protecting American jobs. They're about protecting the soul of our country.
Tariffs are about making America rich again and making America great again. And it's happening and it will happen rather quickly. There'll be a little disturbance. But we're okay with that. It won't be much. But we will take in trillions and trillions of dollars and create jobs like we have never seen before. We have been ripped off for decades by nearly every country on earth. And we will not let that happen any longer. Earlier today I received an important letter from President Zelensky of Ukraine. I appreciate that he sent this letter. Just got it a little while ago. Simultaneously we've had serious discussions with Russia and have received strong signals that they are ready for peace. Wouldn't that be beautiful? Wouldn't that be beautiful?
