Trump vows 'swift and unrelenting action' in Congress speech

In a defiant address to Congress, President Donald Trump emphasized his 'swift and unrelenting action' to reshape the nation's economy, immigration, and foreign policy during his initial weeks back in office. The 90-minute speech was marked by Democratic dissent, including placards denouncing Trump's claims and disruptions from legislators. Trump, emboldened by his control over a Republican-led Congress, reiterated his commitment to dismantling parts of the federal government while threatening federal workers with firings if they resist his agenda. He also cited false claims regarding Social Security, prompting shouts of 'lies' from Democrats. The speech highlighted tensions between Trump and congressional Democrats, reflecting a broader political divide in Washington. Musk's presence in the chamber, receiving applause from Republicans, underscored Trump's reliance on influential allies in his administration.
