Trump Highlights Economic Recovery and National Strength in 2026 State of the Union

In his 2026 State of the Union address, US President Donald Trump claimed he inherited a nation in crisis with record inflation, economic stagnation, and security challenges. He asserted that his administration has since driven inflation to its lowest level in over five years, secured over $18 trillion in new investments, improved border security, and restored America's global standing. Trump described this period as the 'golden age of America' and highlighted upcoming celebrations for the country's 250th Independence anniversary.
