#TrumpCongressSpeech President Donald Trump delivered a speech on March 4, 2025, before a joint session of the United States Congress, where he highlighted the actions and policies implemented in the first six weeks of his second term. Below are the main points of his address:

Economic and Tariff Policy

Trump defended the imposition of tariffs on countries such as Mexico, Canada, and China, arguing that these measures are essential to protect the U.S. economy and promote domestic production. Although these policies caused a decline in the stock market, the president justified them as necessary to safeguard the soul of the nation.

Tax Reform

The president requested Congress to approve tax cuts for all citizens, including the elimination of taxes on tips, overtime, and Social Security benefits. Additionally, he proposed that interest payments on car loans be tax-deductible, as long as the vehicle is manufactured in the United States.

Immigration and Border Security

Trump emphasized the need to reinforce security at the borders and requested additional funds from Congress to intensify the deportations of illegal immigrants. He also highlighted the significant reduction in illegal border crossings since he took office, attributing it to the strict policies of his administration.

Foreign Policy and International Relations

In a more conciliatory tone, the president mentioned receiving a letter from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, in which he expressed his willingness to negotiate and sign an agreement related to mineral resources. This gesture was interpreted as an attempt to improve relations between the two countries and move towards peace in the region.

Government Restructuring

Trump praised Elon Musk's work at the head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)
