Trump's Emphasis on Domestic Policy and Foreign Policy at the Republican Congress

US President Donald Trump attended and spoke at the 2-day Republican Party National Congress, which was held in Dallas, Texas and brought together Republicans.

Speaking mainly about domestic policy, border security and economy, Trump argued that they had taken very important steps during his presidency and brought the country to a much better point than before.

Trump claimed that the USA was in a bad situation both politically and economically during the Joe Biden era, and that the USA recovered after he became president.

Stating that the USA implemented an "open border" policy and that he put an end to it as soon as he took office, Trump stated that they have reduced the number of irregular immigrants crossing the border to zero in recent months.

Referring to Democrats as "left-wing communists", Trump called on all Republicans to vote for Republican candidates in the midterm elections on November 3.

In the part of his speech about Iran, Trump argued that they went to war with this country to prevent Iran from having nuclear weapons and said, "We are winning this war." he said.

"As soon as we win the war with Iran, which is going on right now, oil prices will fall. We will win this war." Trump said, "We control the trade in the Strait of Hormuz. I think we should give the Strait of Hormuz another name. We should call it 'Trump Strait'." he said.

Trump emphasized the issue of changing the name of the Strait of Hormuz and said:

"That's what it's going to be called, ladies and gentlemen. I'm going to make an announcement about it, we're going to call it 'Trump Strait' and I'm sure the leaders of Iran will be very pleased with it."

Explaining that the USA intervened in Venezuela and gained serious control over this country, Trump praised the oil agreement they made with the Caracas administration.

Trump stated that the oil agreement in question made a significant contribution to the American economy, and that thanks to this agreement, they kept gasoline prices in the country under control to a certain extent, despite the crisis with Iran.

Trump said he had a promise regarding the Congressional elections "because of the economic success" of the United States.

Stating that if the Republicans win in the elections in the House of Representatives and the Senate, they will pay 5 thousand dollars to every adult, Trump compared this to a company paying a "share" to its shareholders.

According to The Hill newspaper, it is unclear whether this payment is legal in the USA, where there are 270 million adults.

National party congresses, traditionally held in the year of presidential elections in the USA and where the presidential candidates of the parties are officially announced, have an important place in the American political system.

The Republican Party National Congress, which was decided to convene before the Congressional midterm elections after Trump's call in June, represents a first in this respect.
