Washington – In just six weeks, President Donald Trump diversity initiatives, shortened foreign help, has reduced the federal assistant, explained that America had only two genders and an official language, renamed Gulf of Mexico, on the side of Russia about democracy that penetrated into the trade, in Canada, in China and the European union.

The tariffs for North American imports will be effective on Tuesday. Arizonans could see higher prices for beer, fresh products, wood and other goods.

On Tuesday evening, the legislature is based on further surprises in the first state of the union speech of his second term.

Some things you should pay attention to:

Reality TV-worthy drama

Trump was on trial during his speech at the Union in 2020, although the Senate would expose him the next day. This was his first office survey, in the indictment of the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Trump's efforts to put him under pressure, to announce a corruption examination that would affect the Democrat Joe Biden before the elections.

More about Zelenskyy later.

Trump, the former reality TV star, pulled out all stops to keep the congress and the home audience careful.

The conservative talk show presenter Rush LimbauGH, which suffers with advanced lung cancer, was sitting with First Lady Melania Trump. His jaw dropped out when Trump announced a freedom presidential medal, the highest civilian honor of the nation, which the First Lady then put around his neck.

Also in the First Lady's Box: Army -Speil partner Amy Williams and her children. Her husband Sgt. The 1st class Townsend Williams had been gone on his fourth tour in Afghanistan for months. Trump thanked her for her victim and then announced a reunion on live television.

“I am thrilled to inform you that your husband is back from the mission. He is here with us this evening, ”said Trump.

The couple hugged when the largest part of the home chamber gave.

The night ended with the spokesman Nancy Pelosi Trump's speech. At the beginning of the evening, the president had hired her offer of a handshake. She later said that she had made a little tear on each side that contained a lie. When she realized that each side was torn, she decided to shred her.

That will not happen on Tuesday evening. This time two Republicans will sit behind Trump: Vice President JD Vance and spokesman Mike Johnson.

Democratic setback

During the speech of 2020, Democratic Congress Manager carried Weiß to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th amendment.

The show of solidarity made it even more obvious than the legislators of the opposition as Trump allied and cheered. Even without unanimous outfits, the contrast on Tuesday evening will be strong again.

The legislature usually use their guest cards to make a political point.

Many democrats bring voters who have lost their work under billionaire Elon Musk's efforts to shorten the workforce.

The Senator of Arizona, Ruben Gallego, brings a veteran of the disabled army from North Phoenix, Kyle Rahn, who was released two weeks ago – by e -mail – from a cyber security job in the Department of Homeland Security.

Rahn served three tours in Iraq before working as a civilian for the Ministry of Defense. In total, he spent 16 years in the public service before he was replaced by the so -called Department of Government Efficiency or Doge, the Muschus' office of the White House.

“This is not just about me, but about every government employee who dedicated her life to strengthening this nation,” said Rahn in a statement published by Gallego's office.

MP Yassamin Ansari, D-Phoenix, will bring a mathematical teacher and Daca receiver of High School as their plus to dramatize the criticism of Trump's immigration reversals.

DACA – pushed out measures for arrivals in childhood – is a program that President Barack Obama began, the immigrant who is brought into the country without fear of deportation.

According to a report from the Pew Research Center, Arizona gave an estimated 250,000 people in the country last June last June. That is about 3.5% of the state's population – just above the national average.

Russia-Ukraine

Trump's Ovales office, which writes with Zelenskyy with Zelenskyy on Friday.

During this meeting, Trump insisted that he did not choose Russia via Ukraine, although this was the perception he left by insulting the Ukrainian leader because he was not grateful enough for American military support.

“I am not oriented with Putin, I'm not aligned with anyone,” said Trump to report. “I have reconciled with the United States.”

Trump had already excluded Ukraine's demand for a ceasefire to go back to Russia, the country that he confiscated.

Even some of the closest Republican allies of Trump expressed discomfort with his attitude. Such an internal contradiction was rare and foreign civil servants will search for signs of this voltage on Tuesday evening.

“I have repeatedly asked President Trump that it is crucial for this war to end with a decisive and unmistakable defeat against Putin and Russia,” the Senator of Texas, Ted Cruz, wrote on Saturday after the confrontation of the Oval Office, X.

On Sunday, the spokesman for Kremlin, Dmitry Peskov, said Russian state television that Putin's government was satisfied with the Oval Office meeting because it shows that Washington is “largely geared towards our vision”.

inflation

During his campaign, Trump promised to lower inflation and reduce the cost of living.

So far, Trump has focused on other priorities in his second term. The Republicans played these commitments and no longer complained about high prices on the fuel pump and the supermarket.

Democrats work over time to remind voters that eggs are still expensive and that inflation has not disappeared, as Trump promised.

The Democratic Senators of Arizona, Gallego and Mark Kelly have criticized Trump's reaction to the bird flu eruption, which has affected 12.7 million chickens in the past 30 days alone and has led to an egg shortage that has kept the prices high.

“In their campaign, they often mentioned plans to lower prices for land such as food, and eggs must be a central part of these actions,” wrote Gallego shortly after taking office.

The USDA recently promised to spend 1 billion US dollars for combating bird flu and their effects on consumers. The plan includes increased inspections of farms and working with the FDA to increase egg supply.

Immigration and deportations

The enforcement of immigration was another important campaign promise, and critics and allies will listen alike to get details about how Trump wants to do.

On Saturday, Trump boasted that the border patrol in February only 8,326 people who illegally cross the southern border – the lowest monthly record in history – by far! (Comparable federal data only fall back to 2000 and this is the lowest since then, although at least one expert said that this could be the lowest since the 1960s.)

Based on this, he explained on his social Trump platform of the truth: “The invasion of our country is over.”



For years, the Republicans have argued that illegal border crossings make up an invasion and to justify a variety of guidelines – including Trump's central promise of the 2024 campaign, a mass shift to take millions of people.

Previously this semester, Trump tried to end automatic birth law citizenship. A federal judge blocked this move as a violation of the 14th amendment, which gives the US citizenship on everyone who was born on US floors.

Last week, Trump announced a plan to have the wealthy foreigners buy a permanent residence for 5 million dollars. He called it a “gold card”. Officials said that this would replace the EB-5 program that the foreigner would enable the US residence by investing at least $ 800,000.

“He used the military … (and) new law enforcement strategies, new strategies for law enforcement and significant strategies against antitrust and counter-snacking strategies that led to a decline in illegal intersections of 95%,” said Stephen Miller, a top trump consultant, on Monday in the White House towards Reporters. “You will never find an example of a threat to law enforcement authorities or national security threats in which you have achieved such a fast 180.”
