Le président des Etats-Unis doit faire un premier bilan de son action et donner des perspectives, mardi, à Washington. S’il ne s’agit pas formellement du traditionnel « discours sur l’état de l’Union », l’exercice en est très proche.
Donald Trump delivered a 1 hour and 40 minute speech to Congress amidst tension between Republicans and Democrats, announcing reciprocal tariffs effective April 2nd, acknowledging potential disruptions. He may test institutions by disregarding federal court decisions, refusing to spend funds approved by Congress, or targeting independent agencies. His approach was perceived as more of an electoral speech than a presidential one. International issues were minimal, with only one mention of Vladimir Putin regarding the Afghanistan withdrawal.
