Bonus: President Trump addresses Congress

This BBC World Service podcast reports on Donald Trump's lengthy address to Congress, the longest presidential speech ever delivered. The speech covered tariffs, immigration, and free speech, with strong reactions from both Republicans (cheers) and Democrats (protests, including one ejection). Trump claimed significant achievements in his first six weeks back in office and highlighted his efforts to secure peace in Ukraine, while also mentioning his new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) headed by Elon Musk. A Democratic response criticized Trump's actions and highlighted risks to American democracy. The podcast concludes with analysis from a Washington correspondent who points out misleading statements and the stark division within Congress.
