3 Dead in Suspected Hantavirus Outbreak on Cruise Ship in Atlantic Ocean: WHO

President Donald Trump addressed Congress and the American people Tuesday night as he lays out his plans for the months ahead.

The president's remarks begin at 9 p.m. ET.

Here's the latest:
<h2>GOP Lawmaker: Zelenskyy’s Letter to Trump a ‘Positive Step’</h2>
Rep. Mike Lawler (R-N.Y.) said that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s letter to Trump was a “positive step” toward a process to end the war between Russia and Ukraine.

“Look, we all know Vladimir Putin started the war. We all know Vladimir Putin is a vile dictator and thug. We all know that Ukraine falling would be a disaster for Eastern Europe and the free [world],” Lawler said.

Lawler said Trump is making the point that the longer the war “drags on, the more devastating the consequence will be for Ukraine, and that it is imperative that we bring this conflict to an end, that we strengthen the economic relations between the U.S. and Ukraine, which certainly Russia is not going to be happy about.”

“But ultimately, you have to be able to get both sides to the table if you’re going to negotiate a peace [deal],” Lawler said.

He said he has had talks with the administration about the conflict, but declined to elaborate.
<h2>Democrats Give Spanish-Language Response</h2>
Rep. Adriano Espaillat of New York, chair of the Hispanic Caucus, gave a rebuttal in Spanish, criticizing Trump for not doing enough to bring prices down and instead signing orders such as changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America.

“For the past 45 days, we’ve seen a president who acts more like a king, more like a monarch, than a president,” Espaillat said.
<h2>Johnson: ‘It Was Really Shameful What the Democrats Did’</h2>
House Speaker Mike Johnson told Fox News there may be a censure resolution brought to discipline Rep. Al Green (D-Texas).

Green was removed from the chamber for disturbing Trump’s address.
<h2>Slotkin Positions Democrats as Defenders of Democracy</h2>
Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich.), delivering Democrats’ response to the president’s speech, positioned her party as the defender of democracy against Trump’s “reckless” change.

“Our democracy, our very system of government, has been the aspiration of the world, and right now, it’s at risk,” Slotkin said in her televised rebuttal.

Although the freshman senator acknowledged that November’s elections indicated a strong national desire for change, she stressed that “there’s a responsible way to make change and a reckless way,” suggesting that the president’s sweeping policy changes exemplified the latter.

Also a former CIA analyst, Slotkin said she knew what life was like under “rigged” governments and had watched other democracies “flicker out.” She called on viewers at home to become actively involved in protecting the United States from that fate.

“And I promise that I and my fellow Democrats will do everything in our power to be the principled leaders that you deserve,” she said.
<h2>Slotkin Says the Country Will Endure Despite Political Division and Upheaval</h2>
“We’ve gone periods of political instability before, and ultimately, we’ve chosen to keep changing this country for the better," Slotkin said.

Slotkin closed her response to Trump’s speech by saying, “This isn’t the first time we’ve experienced significant and tumultuous change as a country.”

She described herself as a student of history and said that the United States is resilient and has emerged stronger from periods of social and political upheaval in the past.
<h2>Slotkin Says Trump Hasn't Laid Out Credible Plan to Deal With Rising Grocery and Home Prices</h2>
“Grocery prices and home prices are going up, not down," Slotkin said. "And he hasn’t laid out a credible plan to deal with either of those.”

Grocery prices aren’t actually rising by much, except for high-profile items such as eggs. Grocery costs, on average, have risen just 1.9 per in the past year. At the peak of inflation in 2022, grocery prices soared more than 13 percent in a year.
<h2>Slotkin Says Trump’s Actions Would Have Gotten Him Fired in Real World</h2>
“No CEO in America could do that without being summarily fired," she said.

Slotkin criticized a Trump administration effort led by Musk for firing scores of federal employees only to rehire them then after realizing those dismissed worked on critical issues.

She suggested that Musk himself would have lost his job if he had done similarly in the business world.
<h2>Slotkin Seeks to Set Tone for Democrats</h2>
Michigan Sen. Elissa Slotkin said that Trump is “trying to deliver an unprecedented giveaway to his billionaire friends,” in Democratic response to his first joint congressional address of his second presidency.

Slotkin is attempting to present a refined economic message as the Democratic Party continues to struggle to unify around a strategy to counter Trump.
<h2>Democratic Response Underway</h2>
Michigan Democratic Sen. Elissa Slotkin is giving the Democratic response to Trump’s speech from Wyandotte, Michigan, where she noted that both she and Trump won with voters last November.

She opened her remarks promising to keep things much tighter than Trump, who set a record for a joint address to Congress by talking for around an hour and 40 minutes.
<h2>Trump Delivers Record-Length Speech to Joint Session</h2>
Trump’s speech tonight broke the record for the longest address before a joint session of Congress. It was 1 hour and 40 minutes long.

The previous record was held by President Bill Clinton, who spoke for 1 hour and 28 minutes in 2000.
<h2>Trump Concludes His Speech</h2>
“The golden age of America has only just begun,” he told Congress as he finished his speech after speaking for nearly 100 minutes.

Republican lawmakers rose to their feet and cheered the conclusion of Trump’s address, pumping their hands in the air while chanting “Fight! Fight! Fight!”

Democrats quickly streamed from the chamber while GOP lawmakers tallied to shake hands with the president.
<h2>Trump: No Child Is ‘Trapped in the Wrong Body’</h2>
Trump called on Congress to pass a law “permanently banning and criminalizing sex changes on children and forever ending the lie that any child is trapped in the wrong body.”

He called that “a big lie” and said his message to every child in America was that “you are perfect, exactly the way God made you.”
Earlier in his speech, Trump reiterated that there are only two sexes: male and female.

Trump has signed executive orders related to gender—in particular, one targeting funding for organizations that perform what he called “surgical and chemical mutilation.” That order has been blocked by two federal judges.
<h2>Trump Wants to Reduce Childhood Cancer</h2>
Trump said that driving down childhood cancer rates and studying autism cases in the United States will be a top priority for his health secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

“Our goal is to get toxins out of our environment, poisons out of our food supply and keep our children healthy and strong," Trump said.

Childhood cancer remains rare in the United States, with about 15,000 children diagnosed with the disease every year. Cases of pediatric cancer have risen in recent years, but treatments have improved, leading to a decline in deaths from the disease.

Among 8-year-olds in the U.S., about 1 in 36 were diagnosed with autism in 2020.
<h2>Trump Expresses Appreciation for Letter From Zelenskyy</h2>
Trump recited a letter he received earlier Tuesday from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, saying that the wartime president wants to come back to the table after an explosive Oval Office meeting last week broke down negotiations for a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine.

“We’ve had serious discussions with Russia and have received strong signals that they are ready for peace,” Trump said. “Wouldn’t that be beautiful?”
<h2>Trump Wants to ‘Reclaim’ Panama Canal</h2>
Trump gave a shoutout to Marco Rubio, his secretary of state, as the president detailed his plans to “reclaim” the Panama Canal.

“Good luck, Marco,” he said. "Now we know who to blame if anything goes wrong.”

He comment resulted in some laughter from Republicans. He quickly pivoted to point out that Rubio was confirmed unanimously in the Senate and that “he’s going to do a fantastic job.”
<h2>Trump says, ‘We need Greenland’</h2>
Trump said the U.S. supports Greenland’s right to determine its own future but would “welcome” the country into the United States for national security—and to make them rich, he claims.

“I think we’re going to get it," he said of Greenland. "One way or another, we’re going to get it.”

Since his first term in office, Trump has expressed interest in acquiring Greenland, which is a semiautonomous territory of Denmark, a longtime U.S. ally and a founding member of NATO. It is also home to a large U.S. military base.
<h2>Trump Announces Apprehension of Top Terrorist</h2>
Trump announced that the United States has apprehended the top terrorist behind the Abbey Gate bombing during the 2021 withdrawal from Afghanistan that led to the deaths of 13 U.S. service members.

He said that the terrorist is being transported to the United States to face justice.
<h2>Trump Announces New Office of Shipbuilding</h2>
The president announced his intention to “resurrect” the U.S. shipbuilding industry, starting with the creation of a new White House Office of Shipbuilding.

“We used to make so many ships. We don’t make them anymore very much, but we’re going to make them very fast, very soon. It will have a huge impact,” Trump said.
<h2>Trump Informs West Point Applicant He’s Been Accepted</h2>
Trump informed Jason Hartley, a young man in attendance at the president’s speech on Capitol Hill, that his application to West Point has been accepted.

DJ Daniel, a 13-year-old cancer survivor who aspires to become a police officer and was made an honorary Secret Service agent moments earlier, went over and high-fived Hartley.

Daniel and Hartley appeared to be examples of Trump highlighting America’s youth looking to serve the United States.
<h2>Rep. Green Says Trump Has ‘No Mandate to Cut Medicaid’</h2>
After Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) was ejected from the House chamber, he said that he “was making it clear to the president that he had no mandate to cut Medicaid.”

Green said he wanted the president “to know that his budget calls for deep cuts in Medicaid.”

The congressman seemed to be referring to the budget proposed by House Republican leadership that has put the program’s future funding in question. Both Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) have said that Medicaid won’t face cuts.

Green was also asked whether yelling during Trump’s speech was the best way to get his message across.

“It is the best way to get it across to a person who uses his incivility, who uses his incivility against our civility,” Green responded.

The Texas congressman, who was ejected after shouting and raising his cane during Trump’s speech, also said that he was “willing to suffer whatever punishment is available to me.”

He added that punishment was “worth it to let people know that there are some of us who are going to stand up against this president’s desire to cut Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security.”

Trump has said he wouldn’t touch any of those programs.
<h2>Trump Calls for Death Penalty for Cop Killers</h2>
Trump called on Congress to pass legislation imposing a mandatory death sentence for anyone who kills a police officer.

“I’ve already signed an executive order requiring a mandatory death penalty for anyone who murders a police officer, and tonight I’m asking Congress to pass that policy,” Trump said.

He made the request after making a promise to Stephanie Diller, the widow of slain New York Police Department officer Jonathan Diller.

‘We’re going to make sure that [her son] Ryan knows his dad was a true hero, New York’s finest,” Trump said. “And we’re going to get these cold-blooded killers and repeat offenders off our streets.”
<h2>Trump Pledges Focus on Health With RFK Jr. at Helm</h2>
Trump introduced Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. during his speech and said his administration is committed to improving the health of Americans of all ages.

The president cited studies that show cancer rates have increased by more than 40 percent over the past 50 years.

“Reversing this trend is one of the top priorities for our new Presidential Commission to Make America Healthy Again,” Trump said.

“Our goal is to get toxins out of our environment, poisons out of our food supply, and keep our children healthy and strong.”

Highlighting skyrocketing rates of autism, which he said has grown over the years from one in 10,000 Americans to about one in 36, the president vowed to identify potential causes.

He said Kennedy, tasked with overseeing the commission, is the best person for the job.

“We’re going to find out what it is and there’s nobody better than Bobby and all of the people that are working with you,” Trump said. “You have the best to figure out what is going on.”
<h2>Child Cancer Survivor Gets Honorary Secret Service Credential</h2>
Trump gave a shout-out to 13-year-old cancer survivor DJ Daniel, who aspires to become a police officer.

The president had Secret Service Director Sean Curran make Daniel an honorary Secret Service agent.

<h2>Land Renamed in Honor of Girl Killed by Illegal Immigrants</h2>
Trump announced that he is renaming a 34,000-acre national wildlife refuge near Houston after 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungary, who was allegedly killed by illegal immigrants from Venezuela last year.

Two members of the notorious gang known as Tren de Aragua were arrested and charged with sexually assaulting and murdering the young girl and are currently facing the death penalty.

Nungary’s mother, Alexis, was in attendance and shed tears when the president told the crowd of his intentions.

“The death of this beautiful 12-year-old girl and the agony of her mother and family touched our entire nation greatly,” Trump said. “Alexis, I promised that we would always remember your daughter, your magnificent daughter, and earlier tonight, I signed an order keeping my word to you.”

Vice President JD Vance handed the order to the president, which Trump displayed to the crowd, showing his signature on the document.
<h2>Trump Honors Laken Riley</h2>
Trump remembered Laken Riley, a 22-year-old nursing student in Georgia who was murdered by an illegal immigrant in February 2024.

The murderer was convicted and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

Trump also noted that the first piece of legislation he signed in his second administration was the Laken Riley Act, which requires Immigration and Customs Enforcement to detain illegal immigrants charged or convicted of certain crimes such as theft.
<h2>Trump Applauds Senate Passage of Bill Criminalizing Revenge Porn</h2>
The president alerted members of Congress to the presence of 15-year-old Elliston Berry of Aledo, Texas, in the House Gallery.

Berry was 14 years old when a classmate published on social media computer-generated, non-consensual intimate imagery—commonly called revenge porn—of her face on a nude body.

Her fight to get the images taken down served as the inspiration for the Take It Down Act, a bill that would criminalize the publication of, or threat to publish, such material online.

Trump noted that, with Berry’s help, the bill recently passed the Senate.

“And once it passes the House, I look forward to signing that bill into law.”
<h2>Tariffs Expected to Generate Trillions in Revenue: Trump</h2>
Trump said his trade policies will remain centered around tariffs that are designed to boost foreign investment in the United States and balance multi-billion-dollar trade deficits—with a goal of bringing in trillions of dollars into the president’s new “external revenue service.”

“If you don’t make your product in America … you will pay a tariff, and in some cases, a rather large one,” Trump said.

“Other countries have used tariffs against us for decades, and now it’s our turn to start using them against those other countries.”

He said reciprocal tariffs will be imposed on any nation that levies fees on American products.

“Countless other nations charge us tremendously higher tariffs than we charge them. It’s very unfair.” Trump said. “This is happening by friend and foe.”

A series of tariffs—including 25 percent fees on goods from Canada and Mexico and 20 percent in addition to those already imposed on China—took effect Tuesday, and reciprocal tariffs are set to take effect on April 2.

“Whatever they tax us, we will tax them,” Trump said. “We’ve been ripped off for decades by nearly every country on Earth, and we will not let that happen any longer.”

While critics have suggested the tariffs could cause inflation, the president rejected the notion and said any impact would be temporary.

“There’ll be a little disturbance, like we’re okay with that,” Trump said. “It won’t be much.”
<h2>Trump Pledges End of ‘Rule by Unelected Bureaucrats’</h2>
Trump denounced the federal bureaucracy’s near century of expansion, which he said has “held back America’s potential in every possible way.”

“The nation founded by pioneers and risk-takers now drowns under millions and millions of pages of regulations,” he said.

Trump also criticized the many federal workers who do not work in an office full-time, saying that they are not “showing up to work.”

“My administration will reclaim power from this unaccountable bureaucracy, and we will restore true democracy to America again,” he said.

“Any federal bureaucrat who resists this change will be removed from office immediately because we are draining the swamp,” he added. “The days of rule by unelected bureaucrats are over.”
<h2>Trump Urges Repeal of Signature Biden Legislation</h2>
Trump called on Congress to repeal the CHIPS and Science Act, a key piece of legislation enacted in 2022 under President Joe Biden.

The measure sought to boost the industries manufacturing semiconductors and other processor chips.

“Your CHIPS Act is a horrible, horrible thing. We give hundreds of billions of dollars, and it doesn’t mean a thing. They take our money,” Trump said, referring to companies that received money under the bipartisan legislation.

“You should get rid of the CHIPS Act, and whatever is left over, Mr. Speaker, you should use it to reduce debt or any other reason you want to,” he continued, referring to House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.).
<h2>Trump Promises Reciprocal Tariffs Are Coming Soon</h2>
“Other countries have used tariffs against us for decades, and now it’s our turn to start using them against those other countries," he said.

Trump promised that come April 2, reciprocal tariffs will be imposed for most of the country’s trading partners.

“That’s reciprocal, back and forth. Whatever they tax us, we will tax that,” he said.

Trump has made similar threats for weeks but said he didn’t want to make the announcement on April 1 because of April Fool’s Day.
<h2>Trump: ‘I Want to Balance the Budget’</h2>
Trump announced during his joint address to Congress that he will pursue a balanced federal budget during his second term.

“I want to do what has not been done in almost 24 years: Balance the budget,” Trump said. “We are going to balance the federal budget.”

Trump made the remarks after speaking about savings identified by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) totaling more than $105 billion.

A balanced federal budget is a longtime goal of many Republicans, but it is not an issue Trump has historically addressed directly.

He said part of achieving this would be the implementation of a “gold card” program—which he described as being “like a green card but better”—under which foreigners could pay $5 million for a path to citizenship.
<h2>Trump Pushes for Permanent Tax Cuts</h2>
Trump called for permanent tax cuts for all Americans and for Republicans to pass his tax agenda.

“I’m sure you’re going to vote for those tax cuts because, otherwise, I don’t believe the people will ever vote you into office,” he said.

He reiterated his call for no taxes on tips, Social Security benefits, and on overtime.

Congressional Republicans are looking to pass a major bill that includes making the 2017 income tax cuts permanent. The bill would also include provisions related to energy and the border.
<h2>DOGE Cuts, Spending Reductions Highlighted</h2>
Trump described more than $105 billion in savings identified by his newly established Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) during his speech.

Saying that “shocking levels of fraud and corruption” and “appalling waste” have already been identified, the president listed a series of projects eliminated with the help of DOGE.

Some programs that no longer receive funding include those providing resources for illegal immigrants, billions for diversity, equity, and inclusion agendas, and a project intended to make mice transgender, among many others.

Trump introduced special government employee Elon Musk, tasked with advising the president and overseeing DOGE, and commended him for his service and commitment to cutting wasteful spending.

The president said the money saved will be used to draw down the national debt, address inflation, and balance the national budget.

“We’re going to put more money in the pockets of hardworking American families,” Trump said.
<h2>Trump Touts Executive Action on Women’s Sports</h2>
Trump highlighted the executive order he signed to ban males from being in private female areas. One order declared that it is the official policy of the United States that there are two sexes—male and female—and that Title IX applies to women, not men who identify as transgender females.

Trump introduced his first guest in the gallery, Payton McNabb, who suffered injuries while playing volleyball against a male player.

The president reiterated that programs that receive Title IX funding that allow for males in female sports could lose federal funding.
<h2>Trump Says Government Must Move Quickly to Lower Egg Prices</h2>
Trump talked about the price of eggs and other key staples at grocery stores, where prices have remained stubbornly high due to inflation.

He said Biden “let the price of eggs get out of control” and instructed members of his Cabinet to bring them down, saying they need to fix rising prices that he suggested the previous administration left them with.
<h2>Democrats Tune Out, Republicans Tune In</h2>
Some Democrats are quietly chatting with each other as Trump delivers his remarks. Others are on their phones.
