Trump addresses Congress

President Trump makes the longest joint address to Congress in U.S. history, touting his administration’s achievements so far on immigration, government expenditure and upcoming trade measures. Tariff fears are reflected in the U.S. markets with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq seeing their post-election gains cancelled out. In Beijing, the NPC warns of changes ‘unseen in a century’ as it targets GDP of 5 per cent amid fears of another trade war with the U.S. Chancellor-in-waiting Friedrich Merz is considering loosening fiscal rules in order to boost defence spending and to ease Germany’s debt brake.
