US President Donald Trump will tell Congress Tuesday that the American dream is “unstoppable” and the United States is regaining its confidence as he begins a second term, according to excerpts released by the White House.
“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,” Trump will say in the most highly anticipated speech since his inauguration six weeks ago.
Trump will take a victory lap for slashing border crossings, per released excerpts:
“Since taking office, my administration has launched the most sweeping border and immigration crackdown in American history — and we quickly achieved the lowest numbers of illegal border crossers EVER recorded. The media and our friends in the Democrat Party kept saying we needed new LEGISLATION to secure the border — but it turned out that all we really needed was a new PRESIDENT.”
Trump reiterates his plan for widespread tariffs, according to excerpts released by the White House.
“Whatever they tariff us, we tariff them. Whatever they tax us, we tax them. If they do non-monetary tariffs to keep us out of their market, then we do non-monetary barriers to keep them out of our market,” Trump will say. “We will take in trillions of dollars and create jobs like we have never seen before.”
Trump plans to give a shout-out to a long-delayed liquefied natural gas export project in Alaska, per excerpts of his speech sent by the White House.
My administration is also working on a gigantic natural gas pipeline in Alaska, among the largest in the world, where Japan, South Korea, and other nations want to be our partner—with trillions of dollars being spent by them. It will truly be spectacular.
On Ukraine, Trump will say he is “working tirelessly” to end the war, per released excerpts:
I am also working tirelessly to end the savage conflict in Ukraine. Millions of Ukrainians and Russians have been needlessly killed or wounded in this horrific and brutal conflict, with no end in sight. The United States has sent hundreds of billions of dollars to support Ukraine’s defense. Meanwhile, Europe has sadly spent more money buying Russian Oil and Gas than they have spent on defending Ukraine – by far! And Biden has authorized more money in this fight than Europe has spent.
Trump plans to say that later this week, he will take action to “dramatically expand production of critical minerals and rare Earths in the US” as part of his response to improving the economy, and he’ll blame Joe Biden.
“Among my very highest priorities is to rescue our economy and get dramatic and immediate relief to working families,” Trump plans to say, according to excerpts.
“As you know, we inherited, from the last administration, an economic catastrophe and an inflation nightmare. Their policies drove up energy prices, pushed up the cost of groceries, and drove the necessities of life out of reach for millions of Americans. We suffered the worst inflation in 48 years, but perhaps even in the history of our country. As President, I am fighting every day to reverse this damage and make America affordable again.”
