In his first address to Congress since returning to office, President Donald Trump proclaimed, "America is back," highlighting swift actions taken in his initial weeks. He announced 25% tariffs on imports from Mexico and Canada, aiming to protect U.S. industries, while acknowledging potential economic disturbances. Trump criticized the previous administration's policies, particularly on immigration, claiming 21 million illegal entries and emphasizing the need for stricter measures. The speech faced Democratic opposition, with members wearing pink pantsuits in protest and some walking out during the address. Trump also outlined plans for a "golden dome missile defense shield" and other infrastructure projects.
