President Donald Trump said his administration reshaped global dynamics through assertive diplomacy, military action and economic policy, offering a sweeping account of U.S. foreign and domestic achievements during remarks at an event in Florida.
Trump said U.S. actions abroad produced swift results. “We have peace in the Middle East. Nobody thought that was going to be possible,” he said, citing what he described as multiple agreements reached within a year.
He again claimed U.S. intervention helped avert a conflict between nuclear-armed India and Pakistan, saying the effort saved “many millions of people.” New Delhi has repeatedly denied any third-party role in easing tensions between the two countries.
Trump said Iran’s nuclear ambitions had been dismantled, asserting that the United States had “obliterated Iran’s nuclear enrichment capacity with Operation Midnight Hammer.” He also referenced operations against militant leaders, including the founder of ISIS and Iranian General Qassem Soleimani, arguing that decisive military action strengthened U.S. security and deterrence.
The president claimed the United States had apprehended Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, describing him as an “outlaw” and saying “no other nation in the world could have done” what the U.S. achieved. He framed the move as part of a broader effort to reset regional dynamics.
On the economy, Trump said the United States had attracted unprecedented foreign investment. “We have $18 trillion being invested,” he said, adding the total could rise further.
He credited tax cuts, deregulation and tariffs for driving growth and said manufacturing activity was expanding at historic levels. “We’re building more factories in the United States now than at any time in our history,” he said, pointing to the automotive and advanced technology sectors.
Trump said tariffs were central to encouraging companies to shift production to the United States. “They don’t want to pay the tariffs,” he said, calling it a “pretty simple formula.” He also cited stock market performance and retirement savings, saying 401(k) accounts were “doing better than they’ve ever done before.”
On immigration, Trump said his administration had secured the southern border, describing illegal crossings as an “invasion” that had been halted. He said enforcement efforts focused on violent criminals and gangs, while legal immigration continued through established processes.
