ALBAWABA - U.S. President Donald Trump spoke on Saturday night on a number of important topics, such as immigration laws, the war in Ukraine, and the current state of affairs in Gaza.
Hamas to release Hisham al-Sayyid without ceremony out of respect for Palestinian citizens of IsraelTrump stressed his administration's commitment to reaching an economic agreement with Ukraine, obtaining the release of all hostages in Gaza, and carrying out mass deportations of illegal migrants while speaking at a conservative event in National Harbor, Maryland.
Trump said during his speech that he would rather not speak about the Gaza issue in public because of current discussions. He did, however, reiterate that the US would keep working to guarantee the safe repatriation of every prisoner held by Palestinian groups. He gave no more information on the nature of the talks or any particular agreements that were in effect.
Trump then turned his attention to Ukraine, saying Washington is nearing a deal with Kyiv to split rare mineral profits. He emphasized that the United States wants to recoup the billions of dollars it has spent on military assistance and connected this possible agreement to initiatives to resolve the conflict in Ukraine. He said, "We want rare minerals, oil, or anything we can get," underscoring the financial motivations behind US backing for Ukraine.
In addition, Trump said he was aggressively negotiating a settlement with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, calling the fighting "horrific."
Trump said that in recent weeks, his government has initiated what he called "the largest deportation operation in American history" in the area of immigration. He said his administration is targeting illegal immigrants, especially those he called "criminals" coming to the United States from overseas jails and mental hospitals.
Trump reaffirmed his opposition to birthright citizenship, stating that it should not apply to those who enter the nation illegally, and said that illegal immigration had decreased by over 100%.
The U.S. will continue to be strong during the next four years, Trump said in his closing comments, promising to "fight and win." He said that his government plans to restore "American pride" and retake the Panama Canal in a matter of weeks.
Trump's address reflects his administration's strategic aims ahead of impending political obstacles and implies a hard stance on immigration enforcement both domestically and abroad.
