"This is our golden age", From the situation in the US, to tensions
Donald Trump

Donald Trump delivered the longest State of the Union address in history, speaking for more than an hour and a half before a joint session of Congress. The US president focused much of his speech on economic achievements, defending his tariff and tax cuts, immigration and foreign policy.

"After just one year, I can say with dignity and pride that we have transformed ourselves and we will not go back to where we were before. We have had a significant turning point. The United States is back, it is our golden age, and we will not go back," he declared.

He criticized the Supreme Court's decision that overturned some of his decisions, calling it wrong, but stressed that the administration will continue with new tariffs that do not require Congressional approval.

"Taxes will remain in effect under fully approved and tested alternative legal statuses," Trump said.

On domestic issues, the US president declared that there had been no illegal immigration in the last year, while facing harsh reactions from Democratic representatives Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib. "Liar." "You killed Americans," they replied.

He said his administration has reduced illegal immigration and secured the U.S. southern border, although he did not mention his tough measures against immigration enforcement in Minnesota, which public opinion polls show were unpopular among Americans.

On foreign policy, he said the US is working to end the war between Russia and Ukraine, citing his envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. Trump also warned Iran that it would not be allowed to acquire nuclear weapons, saying he preferred to resolve the issue through diplomacy.

"It is developing missiles capable of hitting Europe and the United States. I will never allow it to have nuclear power," he said.

Trump boasted about the US operation that led to the arrest of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro in Caracas last month and said his foreign policy is about "peace through strength".

In a Democratic response, Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger said Americans should not trust the president, warning of a tough battle in the upcoming election. She said the president "has not offered real solutions to our nation's urgent challenges."

The president's speech comes as polls show Americans are hesitant about his second-term agenda ahead of crucial midterm elections in November.
