Donald Trump Speech: Donald Trump took oath as the 47th President of the United States on Monday. Trump announced several executive decisions and said that America's 'golden age' begins now. In a strong address after his swearing-in, Trump called January 20 'Liberation Day'. He said that now America's good days will begin and change will come 'very soon'. Apart from this, he also signed many important files. While signing, Trump can also be seen discussing many important issues.
Trump is tough on China
While Trump was signing files in the Oval Office, he could be seen answering media questions. He took a tough stand on China. Trump said, 'If China had not approved this (US-TikTok deal), we could have imposed tariffs on China. Don't forget. China imposes tariffs on us and we impose much less tariffs on them, except that I imposed a lot of tariffs. We earned hundreds and billions of dollars but until I came. China never paid 10 cents to this country. They looted us and they never gave anything.
We are going to have meetings with China
Trump further said, 'If we want to deal with TikTok and it is a good deal and China does not approve it, then I think eventually they will approve it because we will put tariffs on China. I am not saying that I will do this but you can certainly do this.' However, Trump also said, 'We are going to have meetings and calls with President Xi Jinping. I spoke to President Xi last week, I had a very good conversation on the phone.'
What did Trump say about Israel-Saudi relations?
Regarding the relations between Israel and Saudi Arabia, Trump said, 'I don't think I should put pressure on them. I think it's going to happen, maybe not right now, but Saudi Arabia will join the Abraham Accords. Not very warmly.'
Approval for exit from WHO as well
On this occasion, he signed an executive order to take the US out of the World Health Organization. He said, 'When I was here, we paid $500 million to the World Health Organization and I ended it. China with 1.4 billion people paid 39 million. We were paying 500 million. I found this a bit unfair.'
What did he say on the Russia-Ukraine war?
On his plan to stop the Russia-Ukraine war that has been going on for the last several years, US President Trump said, 'We will try to complete it as soon as possible. If I were the President, the war between Ukraine and Russia would never have started.'
Greenland is essential to international security
On the plan to occupy Greenland, Trump said, 'Greenland is a wonderful place and we need it for international security. I'm sure Denmark will also be involved in this because they have to spend a lot of money to maintain it. The people of Greenland are not happy with Denmark. Not for us, it is important for international security. You have Russian and Chinese boats and warships everywhere.'
Thank you to Joe Biden
During this time, Trump also received a letter written by former President Joe Biden. Seeing this, Trump said, 'Oh! ...Thank you, it could have taken us years to get this.'
Paris Climate Agreement
Trump said he would once again pull the country out of the landmark Paris climate accord. His announcement would deal a blow to worldwide efforts to tackle global warming and once again alienate the US from its closest allies. The White House announcement as Trump was sworn in for a second term on Monday is reminiscent of Trump's actions in 2017, when he announced the US would pull out of the global Paris accord.
America will become the greatest and most powerful
He said, 'America will regain its rightful place as the greatest, most powerful, most respected nation on earth. Due to which the country will get the praise of the whole world.' Trump said that every country will be jealous of us and we will not let anyone take advantage of us. Trump has promised to aggressively change American policies in many areas including immigration, tariffs and energy.
Gulf of Mexico and Panama Canal
The new US President listed some of the steps he would take immediately. These include declaring a national emergency on the US-Mexico border, renaming the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America and reclaiming the Panama Canal.
The scales of justice will be balanced again
Trump said, 'The scales of justice will be balanced again. The Justice Department's cruel, violent and unfair weaponization of the government will end.' He said, 'We will not fail. The future is ours and our golden age begins now.' In his address, Trump also promised to increase domestic oil production, form a government unit to collect the promised tax and cancel the program promoting electric vehicles.
