Wed Mar 05 02:35:08 UTC 2025: ## Trump Delivers Address to Congress Amidst Controversial Trade Actions
**Washington D.C.** – Former President Donald Trump delivered his first address to a joint session of Congress tonight, following a series of controversial trade decisions. The speech, broadcast live at 9 PM EST, focused on the theme of renewing the “American Dream,” according to the White House.
Trump, who arrived at the Capitol earlier this evening, had previously teased the address on his social media platform, Truth Social, declaring, “Tomorrow night will be big. I will tell it like it is!”
The address comes on the heels of Trump’s decision to temporarily halt military aid to Ukraine and implement a 25% tariff on goods imported from Canada and Mexico. Tariffs on Chinese goods were also increased from 10% to 20%. These actions have drawn significant international attention and criticism.
Further details on the content of Trump’s speech will be available following the conclusion of the address. Live updates were provided throughout the evening.
