Trump emphasized his commitment to forging the most free civilization, where the American dream is surging.
During his address, Trump announced significant developments in foreign policy, including Ukraine’s readiness to sign a rare-earth minerals deal and continue peace negotiations to end the war with Russia. He also revealed that his administration had apprehended the top terrorist responsible for an attack in Afghanistan that claimed the lives of 13 U.S. troops.

Despite some initial disruption from Democratic lawmakers, who booed and heckled Trump, the President remained resolute in his message. He called for increased funding for border security to support deportation efforts and the construction of a border wall. Trump touted his administration’s achievements in cracking down on illegal immigration and combating drug cartels, declaring that America was finally waging a war against its enemies.
In a bold move, Trump unveiled plans for legal citizenship, introducing a $5 million “gold card” that would allow successful, job-creating individuals to purchase their way to U.S. citizenship. He emphasized the need to rescue the economy from what he described as an “economic catastrophe” inherited from the previous administration. Trump criticized the Biden administration for allowing inflation and egg prices to spiral out of control, promising to make America affordable again.
Trump defended his administration’s new tariffs and trade policies, which have sparked retaliatory measures from Canada and Mexico. He called on Congress to pass funding for the largest deportation operation in American history and reiterated his commitment to ending the war in Ukraine. Trump announced plans to launch a “Golden Dome” defense shield initiative for the U.S., inspired by Israel’s defense system.
Special guests at the address included border czar Tom Homan, former ICE director, and individuals who had faced adversity and triumphed, such as Noa Argamani and hockey legends Buzz Schneider and Rob McClanahan. While some Democratic lawmakers chose to boycott the speech, freshman Sen. Elissa Slotkin delivered the party’s official response, highlighting her background as a former CIA analyst and government official.
In conclusion, President Trump’s speech to Congress underscored his determination to lead America into a new era of prosperity and security. His bold initiatives and unwavering commitment to the nation’s future set the stage for a transformative period in American history.
