Southern Border State of Emergency
Trump declared that the situation at the southern border has reached a critical point due to illegal immigration. The executive order will allocate additional resources to strengthen border control and expedite the construction of barriers. -
Drug Cartels as Terrorist Organizations
Trump announced plans to designate Latin American drug cartels as terrorist groups. This move will allow the US to use military and financial measures to combat cartels, aiming to curb drug trafficking and its effects on American communities. -
Energy Emergency
Trump pledged to declare a state of emergency in the energy sector. "We will drill. We will use our vast oil reserves," he said, emphasizing the need for energy independence and increased domestic production of oil and gas. -
Freedom of Speech: Ban on Government Censorship
