00:00U.S. President Donald Trump held a rally in Michigan on Tuesday to mark the first 100 days of his second term in office,

00:08as the nation's economy reports a fall amid his sweeping tariffs.

00:12This rally was his largest public event since returning to the White House in a state that has been especially rocked by his steep trade tariffs and combative attitude toward Canada.

00:22At the event, Trump celebrated what he called the most successful 100 days in office,

00:28despite polls revealing wide dissatisfaction with his management so far.

00:34The rally came at a time when U.S. consumer confidence has reportedly plummeted to its lowest level in five years over concerns about the impact of its global trade war.

00:44And the United States reported its first economic contraction in three years as a result of President Donald Trump's tariff policy.

00:58The Commerce Department released the data in its report on Wednesday, previewing the drop in gross domestic product that caused consumer business activity to slow sharply.

01:09The report reinforced U.S. growing disapproval of Trump's mishandling of the economy as it reaches 100 days in office.

01:18The economic contraction was swamped by increased imports as businesses competed to avoid higher costs from the tariff war.

01:25As a result, consumer confidence is near a five-year low, and business activity has slowed.

01:38And in the United States, several voices are raising in the political sphere against Donald Trump's administration,

01:45as the head of state marks 100 days into his second mandate.

01:49In this scenario, the Democratic governor for the state of Illinois, J.B. Pritzker, delivered a keynote speech at a Democratic fundraiser in New Hampshire on Sunday,

01:59criticizing both Republicans and fellow Democrats.

02:02Pritzker urged citizens to pressure congressional Republicans to oppose Trump's agenda,

02:08and highlighted how the president's policies affect his state.

02:11In addition, the governor defended the positive role of migrants in the enrichment of U.S. society and its economy.

02:18In this context, the governor called for mass mobilization against what he described as a destructive administration.
