In a historic State of the Union address lasting an hour and 48 minutes, President Donald Trump declared that the United States is back stronger, better, and richer than ever before. He highlighted significant changes over the past year, touting the nation’s economy as the strongest it has ever been. Trump also addressed international concerns, stating his commitment to preventing Iran from developing nuclear weapons, while expressing a preference for diplomatic measures to resolve tensions with Tehran.

During his address to both chambers of Congress, Trump asserted that the U.S. southern border with Mexico is now the most secure it has ever been, with enemies in fear and both military and police prepared. He emphasized that after years of unrestricted illegal immigration, there has been a significant transformation with the border now being described as the safest in American history. Trump also claimed a record 56 percent reduction in drug trafficking, particularly fentanyl, since his return to office last year.

Concluding his speech, Trump expressed a belief that America is respected on the global stage more than ever before, suggesting a surging national confidence and urging Congress to support ongoing measures that have led to this perceived strength and security. His remarks reflect the administration's priorities and the ongoing debate surrounding immigration and international relations, framing the narrative of success amid ongoing challenges.
