In State of the Union speech, Trump highlights economy, Iran threat and repeats India-Pakistan claim

In his State of the Union address on February 25, U.S. President Donald Trump emphasized his administration's economic achievements and reiterated his stance on immigration enforcement. Trump claimed credit for resolving the longstanding India-Pakistan conflict, a statement that has been met with skepticism from various quarters. He also defended his controversial tariff policies, which have faced legal challenges, including a recent setback from the Supreme Court. The President's remarks come against a backdrop of heightened tensions in various global hotspots, including Iran, which he described as a significant threat. Trump's address reflects his continued focus on national security and economic growth as key pillars of his administration's agenda, aiming to bolster his position ahead of the upcoming elections. His comments on international relations, particularly regarding India and Pakistan, highlight the delicate balance the U.S. seeks to maintain in South Asia, while his immigration policies remain a contentious point within domestic politics.
