In a speech from the White House on Wednesday evening (December 17), US President Donald Trump highlighted the achievements of his administration over the past 11 months. In the speech, he blamed his Democratic predecessor for high consumer prices and outlined a plan for sweeping domestic reforms. Speaking from the Diplomatic Reception Room, Trump said, “My administration has achieved many successes. These include ending the war in Gaza, eliminating the Iranian nuclear threat and establishing peace in the Middle East for the first time in 3,000 years.” He said his administration had ended eight wars in 10 months and secured the return of Israeli prisoners held in Gaza, both dead and alive.
“We have the most powerful military in the world,” Trump added. Turning to domestic policy, Donald Trump said, “I will be announcing the next chairman of the Federal Reserve very soon.” Whoever is chosen for the position will be in favor of a sharp cut in interest rates. The US President said, “The United States has secured a record investment of $18 trillion (18 lakh crore rupees), which will create high wages and jobs. More than a million US military personnel will receive a financial bonus before the Christmas holiday.” Regarding immigration, Donald Trump said, “The US borders have been open before, which has resulted in the arrival of millions of people, he said. His government has worked in various areas, from reducing illegal entry at the border to reducing the prices of some goods.” In his speech yesterday, he also blamed the Joe Biden administration, although he admitted that the prices of goods are still high. However, he claimed that the US is now fully prepared for economic growth. In this regard, Trump said, “I am reducing these excessive prices and the prices will come down very quickly.”
