#TrumpCongressSpeech On March 4, 2025, President Donald Trump delivered a 100-minute address to a joint session of Congress, marking the longest speech of its kind in over six decades. He highlighted his administration's swift actions, including withdrawing from international agreements like the Paris Climate Accord, the World Health Organization, and the UN Human Rights Council. Trump also announced the establishment of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Elon Musk, aiming to streamline federal operations. He proposed imposing tariffs on countries such as Canada, Mexico, the European Union, India, South Korea, and China to protect American industries. Additionally, Trump expressed intentions to reclaim the Panama Canal and pursue a minerals deal with Ukraine to facilitate peace negotiations. The speech was met with mixed reactions; Democrats protested by walking out and holding signs, while Republican members applauded the president's agenda.
