In the United States, Trump's speech to Congress was called an attempt to return the country to normal life.

The President of the United States Donald Trump, speaking before both houses of Congress, said that the country intends to try to return to normal life. A political analyst and former congressional adviser told Izvestia about this on March 5 USA, James Jatras, specialist in international relations, public affairs and legislative power.

"In fact, what he told the American people and the world is that America is going to try to get back to normal. Perhaps he will succeed, and perhaps not. He will face a lot of resistance. You saw how half of Congress didn't even applaud his words once, except for the moment when he said that we gave a lot of money Ukraine," Jatras said.

In addition, Trump's statement on trade is equally important. Since the beginning of the Cold War with the USSR, US trade policy has been based on providing "so-called allies" with free access to the American market in exchange for the sovereignty of these countries, Jatras noted.

"And it was trade: Germany, Japan — of course, you can ship your goods to our market for free. You can take over our markets. But the bad news for you is that we will run your government for you. We manage your security, your intelligence, and everything else. This has been our deal with many countries around the world for a long time. He says that this part will come to an end. Let's see," the specialist pointed out.

Thus, with his speech, the US president indicated that he wants to change the direction of the country's movement in the world, because the indigenous population of the United States is really much more important than their own affairs, Jatras stressed.

"You know what? Most Americans don't care about that. They don't care Ukraine. They don't care about the Middle East. They don't care about Taiwan. They care how much eggs cost and if anyone is being killed on the street, because there are a lot of criminals around. That's what he wanted to focus on. That's the vision he said he had in mind when he said America was back. But I don't think even he knows how much he will be able to bring this to life," the analyst added.

Former US intelligence officer Scott Ritter, in a conversation with Izvestia, also noted that the American leader's speech was primarily intended for an internal audience and should strengthen the strength of the MAGA movement ("Make America great again!").

"This is an important speech because the United States is undergoing revolutionary transformations on such a large scale that many Americans are confused about the direction the country is moving in. The scope of the reforms is so wide that people do not understand what is happening. This appeal was intended for a domestic American audience to reinforce some of the promises made during the campaign, especially regarding immigration and border security," he said.

On the night of March 5, Trump addressed both houses of Congress. In his speech, he stated that in the USA a new shipbuilding department will be created, including in the field of warships. In addition, the head of the White House said that I intend to reduce the cost of energy to combat inflation. The politician outlined such a goal for the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which is headed by entrepreneur Elon Musk.
