Speaker, identified in the transcript only as "Speaker," said the United States had regained strength and security, and listed a series of administration actions and diplomatic steps.
"America is back. America is back and safer," the Speaker said, adding that "The Trump administration took action to reduce the flow of Chinese fentanyl and deported dangerous illegal immigrants, revoked and denied visas for those who pose a threat to national security, and brought home over 26 wrongfully detained Americans." The Speaker also said, "We've realigned foreign aid to American interests and urged our NATO allies to pay their fair share."
The Speaker credited the State Department with restoring merit-based hiring and promotion policies and said the "USA Pavilion at Expo 2025" had been opened to showcase "American innovation, and leadership."
