US President Donald Trump delivered his first speech of the new term in the House of Representatives chamber. While an interesting incident occurred in the chamber, Democratic Representative Green was removed from the room by security personnel for continuing to interrupt Trump's speech despite warnings from Speaker of the House Mike Johnson.
TRUMP BOOED
Meanwhile, Democratic members of the House booed Trump, while Republicans chanted "USA." Stating that they inherited wreckage from the Biden administration, Trump said, "We will lower energy prices. More money will go into the pockets of the American people. It is time for big dreams and bold steps; the American dream is back."
RUSSIA-UKRAINE PEACE TALKS
Trump stated that he received a letter from Ukrainian President Zelensky, saying, "Ukraine is ready to come to the negotiating table. 'We are ready to work for peace under Trump's strong leadership,' he said. 'We are ready to sign the precious metals agreement.' I also spoke with Russia. They are also ready for peace."
GOLDEN CARD PROGRAM
Trump announced that those who establish a business worth 5 million dollars will become US citizens with the Golden Card program.
"WE WILL ESTABLISH A FACTORY FOR CHIP PRODUCTION"
Highlights from Trump's speech include: "Mutual tariffs will come into effect after April 2. The implementation of tariffs will make America rich again. Taiwan announced that it will establish a factory in the US to produce chips worth 160 billion dollars."
MANDATORY DEATH PENALTY FOR KILLING POLICE OFFICERS
I signed an executive order proposing mandatory death penalties for anyone who kills police officers. I am asking Congress for a budget for the Iron Dome defense system. This is very important for our defense.
"WE WOULD GLADLY ACCEPT GREENLAND IF IT WANTS TO JOIN US"
We will reclaim the Panama Canal. The Panama Canal was built by Americans for Americans. 38,000 American workers lost their lives. It was the most expensive project in our history. We did not give it to China; we gave it to Panama, and we are taking it back. Greenland has a very small population and an extremely large land area. Greenland is important to us. If it wants to join us, we would gladly accept it.
"WE SPENT HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS, BUT IT DIDN'T WORK"
There is talk about the situation with Ukraine and Russia. I am also working to stop the war there. The US has sent hundreds of billions of dollars in support for Ukraine's defense. We spent 350 billion dollars, while Europe spent 100 billion dollars. I received a letter from Ukrainian President Zelensky. Ukraine is ready to come to the negotiating table. 'We are ready to work for peace under Trump's strong leadership,' he said. 'We are ready to sign the precious metals agreement.' I also spoke with Russia. They are also ready for peace.
