On February 24th, local time, U.S. President Trump delivered the State of the Union address, stating that the U.S. tariffs will remain in effect based on other legal provisions. Trump also announced that he has reached commitments with several major tech companies, which agree to bear the costs of electricity for their AI data centers themselves, without public funding. This was Trump’s first State of the Union address of his second term. The speech comes at a time when his key policies on tariffs and immigration have faced setbacks. On the 20th, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a ruling stating that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act does not authorize the President to impose large-scale tariffs. Trump subsequently signed an executive order to terminate some of the tariffs. Prior to this, due to federal immigration enforcement officers fatally shooting two American citizens during violence in Minnesota, Congress Democrats and Republicans failed to reach a consensus on temporary funding for the Department of Homeland Security, leading to a partial government shutdown starting on the 14th.
