From CNN's Kaanita Iyer, Matt Stiles and Jhasua Razo

President Donald Trump gave his first address to a joint session of Congress since returning to power, covering topics from domestic policy to foreign affairs.

In the longest annual address in modern history, Trump focused on the economy — digging in on trade and tariffs and promising to provide “relief to working families” amid high inflation.

Immigration was also a key focus, with Trump stressing crimes allegedly committed by undocumented immigrants and calling for stricter border security. He also touted his 2024 election victory and critiqued the Biden administration in a divisive speech that drew protests from Democratic lawmakers.
