In a historic address before a joint session of Congress, former President Donald Trump declared that his administration has “only just begun,” signaling a bold start to his second term.
“America is back,” Trump proclaimed in what became the longest speech in U.S. congressional history. Boasting of rapid policy shifts, he highlighted executive orders, foreign aid freezes, stricter border controls, and withdrawals from international agreements.
The speech also touched on his “America First” foreign policy, including recent negotiations with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Trump read a letter from Zelensky expressing readiness to work under his leadership for a lasting peace with Russia. He also hinted at an imminent security and minerals agreement between the U.S. and Ukraine.
Despite his confidence, Trump’s sweeping actions face legal and economic challenges, raising questions about the stability of his ambitious agenda.
