In the United States, the Eklat in the White House also determined the headlines when visiting Ukrainian President Wolodymyr Selenskyj. However, Trump largely saved the topic. He welcomed Selenskyj’s approach. He received a letter from the Ukrainian President in which he declared that Ukraine was ready for peace negotiations. “I appreciate that,” said Trump. The US President did not have a message towards Europe.
At the same time, he defended his customs policy, which, according to economists, is likely to raise consumer prices in the United States, and the stock markets have already collapsed. “Customs is about making America rich again and making America great again,” said the Republican. “And that happens and it will go pretty quickly. There will be a little unrest, but that’s okay for us.” At the beginning of the week, far -reaching tariffs for goods from the neighboring countries of Canada and Mexico came into force. Trump did not send any conciliatory signals to the neighbors, although his Minister of Commerce had previously indicated an agreement.
Trump also repeated his threat of incorporating Greenland and again verbally relating to expansive foreign policy. “I think we’ll get it either way, we will get it,” said the Republican with a view of the largest island in the world. He gave the national and international security as the reason. The Greenland government repeatedly emphasized that it was working on a possible independence from the Kingdom of Denmark, but not wanting to become part of the United States. Trump commented similarly with a view of the Panama Canal.
Trump produced little significant news in his speech. However, he said that the United States would have caught the mastermind of the devastating attack at Kabul Airport when the American troops were withdrawn in August 2021. The man is on his way to the USA, said the president. At that time, 170 Afghan civilians and 13 US soldiers were killed in the explosive attack.
Trump was sworn in on January 20 as the 47th President of the United States. Since then he broke with countless political conventions and kept America and the world with a number of highly controversial decisions. The democratic senator Elissa Slotkin from Michigan gave the official counter -speech to Trump’s speech for the Democrats. She accused Trump of wanting to embarrass herself with dictators like Russia’s President Vladimir Putin and to offend friends of the United States like the Canadians.
Trump was accompanied by his wife Melania. Since his re -entry into the White House, she has only occurred occasionally to Trump’s side. The 54 -year -old First Lady had traditionally invited numerous guests. Among them was Marc Fogel, who had been sentenced to a long prison sentence in Russia for drug smuggling. He was flown out by a envoy Trump from Moscow in mid -February. The family of the firefighter Corey Comperatore, who was killed in the failed attack on Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, in July 2024.
