Security removed Democratic Representative Al Green from the House chamber on Tuesday. He repeatedly interrupted US President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address. Despite multiple warnings, Green refused to stop. Consequently, Speaker Mike Johnson ordered his removal, stating that Green had violated the House’s decorum.
Trump Highlights Achievements
Meanwhile, Trump received loud cheers from Republican lawmakers as he began his speech. They chanted “USA! USA!” in support. He proudly listed his administration’s accomplishments over the past 43 days. Specifically, he emphasized efforts to shrink the federal government, with help from billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk.
Economic Concerns and Trade Wars
In addition to discussing government reforms, Trump addressed economic uncertainty. He attributed market instability to trade wars and tensions with longtime U.S. allies. As a result, many fear rising prices and financial instability.
Green’s Protest and Removal
As Trump confidently declared, “America is back,” Green shouted objections. Immediately, the disruption caught the attention of the chamber. Videos showed Green loudly criticizing the President. Since he ignored repeated warnings, security escorted him out.

Despite the interruption, Trump continued his speech without further disruptions. In response, Republican lawmakers cheered and expressed strong support for his policies.
Trump’s Optimistic Vision for the Future
Later in his speech, Trump shared a hopeful message. He stated, “The American Dream is surging — bigger and better than ever before. The American Dream is unstoppable, and our country is on the verge of a comeback the likes of which the world has never witnessed, and perhaps will never witness again.”
At the same time, he outlined his economic vision. However, concerns remained over his trade war with Canada, China, and Mexico. Consequently, markets reacted with uncertainty, and fears of rising prices grew.
Trump’s Symbolic Return to the Capitol
Finally, Trump’s return to the Capitol carried deep significance. Just four years ago, his supporters stormed the building to protest his 2020 election loss. Even now, he refuses to fully accept that defeat. Nevertheless, he stood before Congress, vowing to restore American strength and leadership.
