US President Donald Trump delivered the State of the Union address at the Capitol tonight. He stated that 'the state of our Union is strong, our country is winning again.' He added that he inherited 'a great crisis' when he took office on January 20 of the previous year: 'there was an open border, wars, chaos, but we achieved a transformation like never before.' Similarly, he warned that 'we will never go back to where we were before, today the borders are more secure, incomes are constantly rising.' Buenos Aires, February 24 (NA) -- The President of the United States, Donald Trump, tonight at the Capitol delivered his State of the Union address, during which he reviewed his thirteen months in office, praised his own administration, and affirmed that his country 'is stronger than ever.' The economy is booming and inflation is falling. 'Now our enemies are scared, the United States is the most attractive country in the world and the most important on the face of the Earth.' According to Noticias Argentinas agency, he also highlighted that 'factories are opening and the oil sector is recovering thanks to our allies in Venezuela,' in reference to the recent incursion of US troops, which arrested former President Nicolás Maduro. The State of the Union is the annual address in which the president addresses a joint session of Congress to report on the state of the union and to outline the administration's legislative agenda. This occurred thirteen months after he began his second term in the White House, as he previously held the office from 2017 to 2021. The US Constitution establishes that the president must periodically inform Congress about the state of the country and recommend measures he deems necessary, although it does not set a specific date for doing so. The tycoon's message came in a context of strong political polarization in Washington, with open debates on immigration, tariff threats, increasingly pessimistic public opinion on the economy, and tension with Iran, among other points. Trump spoke before Congress after accepting the formal invitation from Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, accompanied by his Vice President James David Vance. In the chamber were also cabinet members, Supreme Court justices, military leaders, and members of the diplomatic corps.
