US President Donald Trump delivered a “must-see” speech to a joint session of Congress last night, where he touted his trade war and emphasized the need to address the record trade deficit the country is facing.
In his address, Trump highlighted how increasing tariffs can help close the trade deficits with countries like Canada, Mexico, and China. His senior adviser, Jason Miller, stated that if action is not taken now, certain industries in the United States could be wiped out by the trade imbalances.
The speech comes at a critical time as the US experienced a record trade deficit in January, emphasizing the urgent need for trade reform. Trump’s focus on trade issues has been a trademark of his presidency, and his remarks to Congress underscored his commitment to addressing the economic challenges facing the nation.
As Trump continues to navigate trade negotiations and push for fairer deals for American workers, his speech to Congress served as a platform to rally support for his trade policies. It remains to be seen how his trade war will unfold, but last night’s address showcased the president’s determination to prioritize economic prosperity for the United States.
