Trump's speech in Congress intensified political debates
US President Donald Trump sparked renewed heated debates in American politics with his nearly two-hour speech in Congress on February 24, 2026. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
The Reuters agency described this speech as one of the most important political addresses during his second presidential term, noting that the main topics were the economy, migration, and foreign policy. In his speech, Trump emphasized that the United States is stepping into a “golden era” under his leadership.
He stated that the country is becoming unprecedentedly wealthy and powerful. The White House also highlighted in an official statement following the speech that economic indicators are improving, inflation is decreasing, and America is regaining strength and power.
However, not all of Trump's statements were universally accepted. For example, he claimed to have ended eight international conflicts and wars at the beginning of his presidency.
Reuters described these claims as “exaggerated,” noting serious doubts regarding this matter. Regarding the economy, Trump also tried to present himself as a leader who reduced inflation.
But according to Reuters' analyses, prices remain a pressing issue for voters. Although the inflation rate is maintained at around 3 percent, it is difficult to regard these achievements as a sharp turnaround.
On the topic of migration, Trump maintained his traditional critical stance. He accused the Democrats of failing to ensure border security and emphasized that dangerous flows are entering the country.
Reuters assessed this topic as the most controversial part of the speech. Overall, Trump's speech in Congress demonstrated that he remains one of the most contentious figures in American politics.
On one side, there are supporters of his statements, while on the other, analysts who question these claims. Therefore, this speech was not just an ordinary political address but marked the beginning of the next major debates in the United States.
