U.S. President Donald Trump marked his reelection anniversary with a high-profile speech at the America Business Forum in Miami, addressing global business leaders and doubling down on his economic vision. The event unfolded as the U.S. grapples with its longest-ever government shutdown, creating a dramatic backdrop for his remarks.
💡 'We’re building an economy that works for everyone,' Trump declared, highlighting tax cuts and deregulation efforts. But critics argue the shutdown – now stretching into its fifth week – undermines his messaging, with 800,000 federal workers unpaid and key services disrupted.
🌴 The Miami gathering drew CEOs from tech, manufacturing, and finance sectors, many seeking clarity on trade policies affecting global markets. While Trump praised 'record-low unemployment,' analysts note growing concerns about slowing growth and market volatility.
CGTN’s Nitza Soledad Perez reported from the scene as tensions between political drama and economic optimism took center stage. With no end in sight to the shutdown, all eyes remain on how this clash will impact both domestic stability and international business confidence.
