Flood of decrees in his first term of office
In the area of the economy, Trump has so far issued tariffs against China, Canada, Mexico and the EU, among others. In his first weeks in office, the US President has issued a record number of decrees. On his return to the White House, the 78-year-old is determined to use the power of the office to a greater extent than any of his predecessors. He has no inhibitions about testing the limits of the US constitution or falling out with traditional allies.
Who is expected
The address to the US Congress begins at 9 pm (3 am CET). Among others, tech billionaire Elon Musk, who is advising the President on dismantling the state, is expected to attend. Trump's wife Melania has also invited guests who are said to have "suffered" under the previous administration. These include, for example, families whose relatives were murdered - by migrants who are said to have been in the USA illegally.
The leader of the Democrats in the Senate, Chuck Schumer, wants fired employees of the authorities to have their say before Trump's speech.
