Trump LIVE: Epstein survivors demand Trump ‘release the files’ ahead of State of Union | World | News
Donald Trump is set to take center stage tonight in what promises to be one of the most explosive State of the Union addresses in US history.
The US President, who returned to the House of Representatives more than a year into his second term, has already warned Americans to prepare for a long marathon session. “It’s going to be a long conversation because we have a lot to talk about,” Trump told reporters, signaling that he was ready to stand up to his critics.
Here’s everything you need to know about tonight’s risky address.
When and where?
The President will begin his address to a joint session of Congress at the following time: 21:00 local time in the USA. So, in England xx. toYou can watch the entire speech live via major news networks and official White House broadcasts.
Economy and ‘Disgusting’ Tariffs
Despite the recent Supreme Court decision striking down Trump’s global tariff authority, Trump is expected to double down on his “America First” trade agenda. He has already threatened to take even more “nasty” measures to protect US industry. We will also see a focus on “affordability” as the US leader tries to convince the American people that his policies are driving the cost of living to rock bottom.
Foreign Policy: Iran and Venezuela
This address came at a time when America was at odds with several major countries in the world. While Trump is weighing what to do about Iran, two US aircraft carriers are lurking in the Middle East. In the Americas, the US President will likely cite the dramatic killing of former Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro by US forces as a major victory for his government’s foreign policy.
Immigration Pressure
Immigration remains a cornerstone of Trump’s agenda; The president will probably brag about reaching the lowest border crossing numbers in 50 years. He will likely defend the aggressive tactics of ICE agents, who have killed scores of US citizens during protests against immigration crackdowns and sparked fierce debate across the US.
Boycott
It won’t just be a full house tonight. A number of high-profile Democrats will boycott the event, opting to hold a “People’s State of the Union” rally on the National Mall. There, Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger, seen by many as the future of the Democratic Party, will offer the official rebuttal.
With the 2026 midterms approaching and America still a deeply divided nation, tonight is more than just a speech; Think of it as the starting gun for a marathon, as tonight marks the start of a long race into another US election year.
