The White House has released excerpts from President Donald Trump’s upcoming address to Congress.
Excerpt below:
Six weeks ago, I stood beneath the dome of this Capitol and proclaimed the dawn of the Golden Age of America. From that moment on, it has been nothing but swift and unrelenting action to usher in the greatest and most successful era in the history of our country.
We have accomplished more in 43 days than most administrations accomplish in 4 years or 8 years—and we are JUST GETTING STARTED. I return to this chamber tonight to report that America’s MOMENTUM is back. Our SPIRIT is back. Our PRIDE is back. Our CONFIDENCE is back.
And the American Dream is surging—bigger and better than ever before. The American Dream is UNSTOPPABLE, and our country is on the verge of a comeback the likes of which the world has never witnessed, and perhaps will never witness again.

Now, for the first time in modern history, more Americans believe that our country is headed in the RIGHT direction than the WRONG direction—an astonishing record 27-point swing since Election Day alone.
Likewise, small business optimism saw its single largest one-month gain ever recorded—a 41-point jump. Over the past 6 weeks, I have signed nearly 100 Executive Orders and taken more than 400 Executive Actions to restore COMMON SENSE, safety, optimism, and wealth all across our wonderful land.
The People elected me to do the job, and I am doing it. In fact, it has been stated by many that the first month of our presidency is the most successful in the history of our nation.
—
Among my very highest priorities is to rescue our economy and get dramatic and immediate relief to working families. As you know, we inherited, from the last administration, an economic catastrophe and an inflation nightmare.
Their policies drove up energy prices, pushed up the cost of groceries, and drove the necessities of life out of reach for millions of Americans.
We suffered the worst inflation in 48 years, but perhaps even in the history of our country. As President, I am fighting every day to reverse this damage and Make America AFFORDABLE Again.
—
Joe Biden especially let the price of EGGS get out of control—and we are working hard to get it back down. A major focus of our fight to defeat inflation is rapidly reducing the cost of energy.
The previous administration cut the number of new oil and gas leases by 95%, slowed pipeline construction to a halt, and closed more than 100 power plants. We have never seen anything like it.
That is why on my first day in office, I declared a National ENERGY Emergency.
—
My administration is also working on a gigantic natural gas pipeline in Alaska, among the largest in the world, where Japan, South Korea, and other nations want to be our partner—with trillions of dollars being spent by them. It will truly be spectacular.
Later this week, I will also take historic action to dramatically expand production of Critical Minerals and Rare Earths here in USA.
—
Whatever they tariff us, we tariff them. Whatever they tax us, we tax them. If they do non-monetary tariffs to keep us out of their market, then we do non-monetary barriers to keep them out of our market. We will take in trillions of dollars and create jobs like we have never seen before.
—
Since taking office, my administration has launched the most sweeping border and immigration crackdown in American history—and we quickly achieved the lowest numbers of illegal border crossers EVER recorded.
The media and our friends in the Democrat Party kept saying we needed new LEGISLATION to secure the border—but it turned out that all we really needed was a new PRESIDENT.
—
I have sent Congress a detailed funding request laying out exactly how we will eliminate these threats, protect our Homeland, and complete the largest deportation operation in American history, larger even than current recordholder Dwight D. Eisenhower—a moderate man but someone who believed very strongly in borders. Americans expect Congress to send me this funding without delay, so I can sign it into law.
—
I am also working tirelessly to end the savage conflict in Ukraine. Millions of Ukrainians and Russians have been needlessly killed or wounded in this horrific and brutal conflict, with no end in sight. The United States has sent hundreds of billions of dollars to support Ukraine’s defense. Meanwhile, Europe has sadly spent more money buying Russian Oil and Gas than they have spent on defending Ukraine – by far! And Biden has authorized more money in this fight than Europe has spent.

As we reclaim our sovereignty, we must also bring back LAW and ORDER to our cities and towns. In recent years, our justice system has been turned upside down by Radical Left lunatics. Many jurisdictions virtually ceased enforcing the law against dangerous repeat offenders, while weaponizing law enforcement against political opponents, like me. My administration has acted swiftly and decisively to restore fair, equal, and impartial justice under the Constitutional Rule of Law—starting at the FBI and DOJ.
We are also once again giving our police officers the SUPPORT, PROTECTION, and RESPECT they so dearly deserve. This also includes our great fire departments throughout the country,who are likewise under siege.
In the first 40 days of his second term, President Trump has implemented several notable actions:
On January 20, Trump created a new “Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)” by executive order, placing Elon Musk at its helm.
The oversight office was charged with rooting out wasteful spending and cutting regulations. He concurrently froze all new federal regulations and hiring to curb government bureaucracy. One memo from OMB went further, freezing all federal funding pending a compliance review with Trump’s policies.
President Trump has strengthened border security by deploying additional 3,000 active-duty troops to the U.S.–Mexico border and cracking down on criminal illegal immigrants with targeted arrests.
He reinstated a travel ban on several predominantly Muslim countries (reviving his first-term policy).
He shut down the CBP One app, started deportation flights, and designated drug cartels as terrorist organizations. Additionally, he reinstated the term “illegal alien,” directed the Department of Justice to act against sanctuary cities, and announced the use of Guantanamo Bay for migrants.
Trump secured over $1 trillion in new investments, including a $500 billion commitment for AI infrastructure and $600 billion from Saudi Arabia over four years. He imposed tariffs on Chinese goods (10%) and foreign steel and aluminum (25%), prompting retaliatory tariffs from China. Also, there are 25% tariffs on all Mexico imports, 25% tariffs on nearly all Canadian imports — and 10% on Canadian energy resources.
He also announced retaliatory tariffs on Colombia and authorized visa restrictions on Colombian officials, and launched a “gold card” visa program for high-investment individuals.
He declared a National Energy Emergency, rescinded previous energy regulations, and withdrew from the Paris Climate Agreement.
Trump paused wind farm leasing, reversed restrictions on resource development in Alaska, terminated the electric vehicle mandate, and opened offshore drilling, allowing more energy exploration in Alaska.
Trump eliminated Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) practices, ensured merit-based hiring, ended affirmative action in federal hiring, and affirmed the recognition of two sexes.
He stopped the display of activists’ flags at U.S. embassies, ended remote work for federal employees, and ordered their return to offices.
He took steps to end government censorship and the weaponization of government agencies, pardoned individuals involved in the January 6 Capitol events and two D.C. Police officers, and declassified files related to the assassinations of JFK, RFK, and MLK.
He signed the Laken Riley Act, ordered the creation of a National Garden of American Heroes, fired the Director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, banned transgender women from women’s sports via executive order, and instructed the Treasury to stop minting pennies.
Trump has signed an executive order to designate English as the official language of the United States.
In foreign policy, Trump redesignated the Houthis as a Foreign Terrorist Organization and engaged in diplomatic communications, including a phone call with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. He renamed the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America.
He paused the implementation of a pending TikTok ban for 75 days to review it, and he restored Cuba’s designation as a state sponsor of terrorism (undoing an Obama/Biden-era change)
He reinstated the “Mexico City policy,” cutting off U.S. funding to any international health groups that provide abortions or abortion referrals.
He announced the U.S. Crypto Strategic Reserve, including various cryptocurrencies. Militarily, he ended diversity programs, reinstated service members who refused the COVID-19 vaccination, signed an order for an “Iron Dome for America,” and appointed Kash Patel as the new FBI Director.
Trump announced the Stargate AI company with a $500 billion investment, pardoned Ross Ulbricht, instructed federal health agencies to pause communications until approved by his appointees, placed nearly all direct hires at USAID on administrative leave.
President Donald Trump has taken significant actions to revoke the security clearances of individuals who are part of the deep state.
On January 20, 2025, he signed an executive order revoking the clearances of 51 former intelligence officials who, in 2020, had signed a letter suggesting that Hunter Biden’s emails might be part of a Russian information operation.
Additionally, on February 25, 2025, President Trump targeted Covington & Burling, a law firm that provided legal services to former Special Counsel Jack Smith. He suspended the security clearances of lawyers involved in Smith’s representation and sought to terminate any federal contracts with the firm.
On February 7, 2025, President Donald Trump announced the revocation of Joe Biden’s security clearance, effectively ending his access to classified intelligence briefings.
