JAKARTA - US President Donald Trump, who is preparing for the midterm elections, used his speech before Congress to convince the public that the country's economic conditions are improving by describing the positive situation.
The Wall Street Journal newspaper reported that Trump relied on statistical data and tax cut proposals even though voters were still concerned about the soaring cost of living.
The Republican Party is said to have to maintain its majority in the House of Representatives in the upcoming midterm elections.
As reported by ANTARA from Anadolu, Thursday, February 26, the latest survey by The Wall Street Journal shows that many Americans do not approve of the current government's economic policies and assess that the authorities have not paid enough attention to the problem of rising living costs.
Trump's second annual state of the union address to Congress since starting his second term broke the record with a duration of 107 minutes or one hour and 47 minutes. The previous record was held by Democratic President Bill Clinton.
The State of the Union speech is the president's annual constitutional message to Congress that summarizes achievements for a year, assesses the condition of the country, and outlines the government's main priorities for the future.
