Trump's Address to Congress Sparks Controversy and Market Turmoil

President Trump delivered the longest first address to a joint session of Congress, making bold claims about the

economy, tariffs, and foreign policy.

He doubled down on his tariff agenda, despite market turmoil, and touted his executive actions, including withdrawing from

international agreements.

His speech was met with mixed reactions, with Republicans cheering and Democrats protesting.

Trump’s new tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China have triggered a trade war, sending stock markets tumbling.

The S&P 500 erased all post-election gains, and major companies like Best Buy and Target warned of rising

prices.

Canada and China retaliated with their own tariffs, escalating tensions further.

Trump’s speech was interrupted by Democratic lawmakers, leading to the removal of Rep.

Al Green from the chamber.

Some Democrats walked out in protest, while others held signs criticizing Trump’s policies.

Speaker Mike Johnson called for Green to be censured, while Republicans mocked the protests online.

Sen.

Elissa Slotkin delivered the Democratic rebuttal, criticizing Trump’s economic policies and warning of chaos under his leadership.

She urged Americans to stay engaged in politics, calling for accountability and action.

Slotkin also accused Trump of cozying up to dictators while alienating allies.

China and Canada responded swiftly to Trump’s tariffs.

China imposed new taxes on U.S.

agricultural products and restricted exports of rare metals.

Canada announced retaliatory tariffs on American goods and hinted at further economic measures.

The global trade war is heating up.

The stock market took a major hit following Trump’s tariff announcement.

The Dow dropped 670 points, and financial stocks suffered heavy losses.

Investors fear rising consumer prices and economic instability as the trade war escalates.

With markets in turmoil and political tensions high, all eyes are on Trump’s next move.

Will he negotiate with Canada and Mexico, or will the trade war escalate further?
