On the night of March 5, US President Donald Trump delivered his address to Congress. His speech lasted almost two hours. He talked about the settlement of the Ukrainian conflict, the economy and the fight against the politics of diversity. The president also did not forget about Greenland, Panama and Mars. His main theses are in our selection.
On the conflict in Ukraine
“It’s time to stop this madness. It’s time to halt the killing. It’s time to end this senseless war. If you want to end wars you have to talk to both sides.”
“I had received a letter from Zelensky. It says that Ukraine is ready to sit down at the negotiating table as soon as possible in order to bring a lasting peace closer.”
“Regarding the agreement on minerals and security, Ukraine is ready to sign it at any time.”
“We’ve had serious discussions with Russia and have received strong signals that they are ready for peace. Wouldn’t that be beautiful?”
On his accomplishments
“To my fellow citizens, America is back.”
“We have accomplished more in 43 days than most administrations accomplished in four years or eight years, and we are just getting started.”
“I was saved by God to make America great again.”
On the economy and duties
“Biden’s policy has led to an economic disaster in the United States.”
“I have created the brand-new department of government efficiency (DOGE). We found hundreds of billions of dollars of fraud.”
“If you don’t make your product in America, however, under the Trump administration, you will pay a tariff and, in some cases, a rather large one.”
“China, India and the EU should be prepared for the retaliatory duties of the United States, which are due to take effect on April 2.”
“I will take historic action to dramatically expand production of critical minerals and rare earths here in the USA.”
On the inclusion and diversity policies
“The condition for hiring specialists in any field should be professional skills, not race or gender.”
“I’ve signed an order to cut off all taxpayer funding to any institution that engages in the sexual mutilation of our youth.”
“And now I want Congress to pass a bill permanently banning and criminalizing sex changes on children and forever ending the lie that any child is trapped in the wrong body.”
“I am pleased to report that in January, the US Army had its single best recruiting month in 15 years.”
On near-term plans
“I’ve already signed an executive order requiring a mandatory death penalty for anyone who murders a police officer.”
“Congress should allocate funding for the creation of the advanced missile defense system ‘Golden Dome’, which will be manufactured entirely in the United States.”
“Greenlanders are welcome to join the United States. We strongly support your right to determine your future. The U.S. will acquire Greenland ‘one way or the other’.”
“My administration will be reclaiming the Panama Canal, and we’ve already started doing it. Just today, a large American company announced they are buying both ports around the Panama Canal.”
On the future of the United States
“The US will plant the American flag on Mars ‘and far beyond’.”
“Get ready for an incredible future because the golden age of America has only just begun. It will be like nothing that has ever been seen before.”
