CORE SUBJECT

Trump's speech on the economy and economic prosperity

In a live address delivered late Wednesday night from the White House, U.S. President Donald Trump tried to convince the American people that their concerns about the economy are misplaced, affirming that any existing challenges are being addressed and promising to achieve "economic prosperity" by 2026.

Trump stated that his administration has achieved significant successes over the past eleven months, adding, "You now have a president who is making this country work."

He said, "Eleven months ago, I inherited a legacy burdened with crises, and I am now in the process of fixing them."

He added that "the tariffs imposed have stopped other countries from stealing our resources."

He emphasized that "the tariffs have contributed to reviving the American economy."

He continued, "We are the most attractive country for investment, and we will eliminate the huge insurance companies that exploited Americans."

In his speech, Trump pointed out that he was able to "reduce the prices of essential goods for the American citizen."

Trump promised "the largest tax cuts during the next year of my presidency."

He attacked former President Joe Biden, saying that the Biden administration caused "an increase in crime rates in the United States due to waves of illegal immigration."

Trump's speech came at a critical time as he strives to rebuild his popularity, which has been steadily declining.

Public opinion polls show that the majority of adults in the United States feel frustrated with his handling of the economy, especially with the accelerating inflation rate after the tariffs he imposed led to higher prices and slower hiring, according to the Associated Press.
