Trump address to Congress LIVE: Donald Trump lists India among countries charging high tariffs

We are just getting started,” President Donald Trump said in his first major address to the Congress since he took over the highest office in the U.S. He is expected to lay out for Congress and the American people his plans for the weeks and months ahead after a turbulent first few weeks in office, which have featured a dismantling of the federal government, tensions with America’s allies and a trade war compounding economic uncertainty.

His joint address to Congress is the latest marker in Mr. Trump’s takeover of the nation’s capital, where the Republican-led House and Senate have done little to restrain the President as he and his allies work to slash the size of the federal government and remake America’s place in the world. 

Mr. Trump’s theme will be the “renewal of the American dream,” the White House said, and he was expected to lay out his achievements as well as appeal to Congress to provide more money to finance his aggressive immigration crackdown.

Mr. was tightening the screws after his explosive Oval Office meeting Friday with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as the U.S. leader tries to pressure the erstwhile American ally to embrace peace talks with its invader.
