President Donald Trump addressed Congress for the first time since taking office, outlining his priorities for the next four years. North Dakota representatives, including Congresswoman Julie Fedorchak and Senator John Hoeven, praised Trump’s plans for energy independence and border security. The administration’s actions are expected to reduce unlawful border crossings, although there are concerns about budget cuts and tariffs impacting North Dakota’s economy. Governor Kelly Armstrong also expressed support for Trump’s policies, citing progress in reducing illegal immigration and boosting U.S. manufacturing. However, Democrats in North Dakota criticized Trump’s agenda, warning of increased healthcare costs and economic hardships for working families. In response to Trump’s address, the Minnesota DFL Party criticized the administration’s budget cuts and trade policies, accusing Trump of neglecting working-class Americans. Some Democrats left the chamber in protest during Trump’s speech, while Senator Kevin Cramer condemned their actions. The debate surrounding Trump’s policies continues to divide political representatives in the Midwest.
