Trump adds that he has the "most consequential presidency" in history, adding that even his liberal opponents agree with his statement.

His administration, he says, is "ushering in the golden age of America".

He then singled out a member of the audience, calling him a "front row Joe".

"I miss you guys, I've missed the campaign," he tells the audience.

He continues to recognise his supporters, saying that one of them look like he's "lost a couple of pounds" since he saw them last.

He notes that another has been to over 100 of his rallies.

Trump is again taking aim at China and how the previous administration handled its relationship with Beijing.

"Instead of putting China first, I'm putting Michigan first and I'm putting America first," he says to loud applause.

He said unelected bureaucrats who "steal your paychecks" are "out" with his administration.

"We are stopping their gravy train," he says.

As President Trump speaks on stage here in Michigan, the seats are mostly full behind the podium.

But the crowd is noticeably thinner in the back rows.

Trump hits out at "grandstanding Republicans" who don't support his agenda, asking the gathered crowd to "vote them out of office".

He takes aim at the Democrats, in particular Bernie Sanders and Al Green - "the guy with the cane" - who has said he'll introduce impeachment articles against Trump.

Trump describes the first 100 days of his second term as "a revolution of common sense".

"We're for common sense. We like strong borders, good education, we like low interest rates," he continues, adding: "We like being able to buy a beautiful car."

"We want a strong military and low taxes," he says.

He then calls on Republicans to support his budget plan, adding that Democrats want to raise taxes.

Trump references some of his key policies, including on immigration and cultural issues.

He says he's "getting woke lunacy and transgender ideology the hell out of our government", drawing applause from the crowd.

"We're making America great again and it's happening fast, too," he said.

Trump tells the crowd he's happy to be back in the "heartland of our nation to celebrate the most successful 100 days in the history of our country".

He says everyone is saying the first 100 days is the most successful.

"We've just gotten started, you haven't seen anything yet," he adds.

Trump has just appeared on stage in Michigan.

He speaks about winning Michigan twice - "we won it three times actually", he adds in reference to Joe Biden's election victory in the 2020 election which Trump falsely claims was stolen from him.

He talks about the automotive industry and tariffs, and thanks for the auto workers for their support.

We're now watching US President Donald Trump as he appears to loud cheers at a special 100 day rally in Michigan.

The venue is mostly full, but they are only using around half its capacity.

He's about to deliver what his administration has labelled his "achievement speech" on his time in office so far.

Stick with us, we'll be bringing you the key lines right here.

Joe DeMonaco owns his own business two doors down from the Michigan diner where we're sitting.

Asked what 100 days of Trump's second term have done for him, he says being self-employed, it's impacted him through the supply of materials used in his cabinetry businesses.

Short term the tariffs are "starting to take effect", he says, adding he hopes the "reeling back [Trump] talks about will kick in".

"It's all costing us more," he says, adding his business will "have to pass it on" to customers, which puts up prices.

Did he have different hopes for Trump running the economy? "I did. I was hoping... he would approach things a little bit differently seeing that he's a little seasoned coming into a second term, I was hoping, but we're just treading water and seeing if things get better from here".

President Trump has chosen a symbolic location for a rally to mark this 100 days milestone.

Warren, Michigan is a short drive from Detroit - the home of America’s auto industry. Trump says much of his early economic and trade policy is designed to benefit the hundreds of people filing into this community college gymnasium.

Tariffs on goods like aluminium, steel, foreign cars and car parts are meant to revive economies in Rust Belt states and bring back the manufacturing jobs the region has lost over the past several decades.

I've spoken with several of the president's die-hard supporters here, and they all say the same thing: They’re overjoyed so far with what Trump has done since coming back into office, and they're willing to give him more time for some of his controversial policies - such as tariffs - to work.

The signs above the podium sum up the president's desired message in just three words: "Jobs, jobs, jobs."

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney spoke with US President Donald Trump today after his Liberal Party's election victory last night, according to the Canadian prime minister's office.

Trump congratulated Carney on the election, according to the statement, and the leaders agreed to meet in the future as economic tensions between the two countries simmer.

"The leaders agreed on the importance of Canada and the US working together – as independent, sovereign nations – for their mutual betterment," the statement reads.

"To that end, the leaders agreed to meet in person in the near future," it adds.

US President Donald Trump is on his first outing to mark 100 days in power, at the Selfridge Air National Guard Base in Michigan ahead of a planned rally with supporters tonight.

He's joined by Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth, alongside other key staff members. Democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer is among the local officials there to greet the president.

He addresses rows of troops sat around him, and says he will save the base, which he describes as a "crucial pillar" of American air defence, and announces the base will receive 21 brand new F-15EX fighter jets, replacing the old ones they have.

The community has been "fearing" for the future of the base, he says, and he is here to fix that.

His administration has "tremendous" plans for the US military, he adds.

He finishes by telling the crowd Michigan is a "special place" and he's glad to be there.

Amazon drama highlights pressure points for Trump and Bezospublished at 21:45 British Summer Time 29 April

Jeff Bezos is the head of the largest online retailer in the world. Donald Trump is the president of the United States. And Tuesday offered a pointed illustration of the high-stakes pirouette of power when the two men interact.

Amazon may or may not have been seriously considering displaying a break-out "tariff charge" display to its product price listings. But one news report was enough to prompt the White House to launch a broad public attack on the company. And, according to reports, Trump called Bezos this morning to express his anger. Shortly thereafter Amazon released a statement denying that such a thing was ever approved - or even under consideration for the site’s main retail service

Whatever might have been planned in Amazon’s corporate offices, Tuesday's drama highlights pressure points for both Bezos and Trump.

The Amazon chief wants to stay on the president’s good side. His company relies on the federal government for a lot of business – as well as a light regulatory hand. And getting crosswise with Trump could get very painful, very fast. Just ask Harvard University or the big law firms that have been targeted by White House.

Trump may have the power, but he also is clearly sensitive to public perceptions that his proposed tariffs are going to cause consumer prices to go up. That’s why the White House responded with such ferocity this morning – and why Trump was quick to pick up the phone and complain.

And it suggests a vulnerability for his critics to attack.

Donald Trump has just signed executive orders which will ease the impact of his tariffs on US car makers.

He is due to hold a rally in Michigan in a few hours - home to the so-called Detroit Three carmakers - Ford, General Motors (GM) and Stellantis - and a network of more than 1,000 major suppliers to the industry.

Those firms and the wider industry have been plunged into uncertainty since Trump announced new 25% tariffs on cars and car parts in March, saying he wanted to expand domestic car manufacturing

The change will allow carmakers with US factories to reduce the amount they pay in import taxes on foreign parts, using a formula tied to how many cars they sell and the price.

The provision is intended to provide relief to businesses for two years as they rework their supply chains, White House officials said.

They also said that parts made in Canada and Mexico that follow North America free trade rules would not face tariffs, an exemption previously described as temporary.

Henry D Thomas Jr is a bus driver in Atlanta. He’s been speaking to us while on a break at The Silver Skillet diner.

After 100 days of the second Trump administration, he says he’s unsure about the direction the president is steering the country in. When asked how he thinks things will play out with tariffs specifically, he said: "I have no earthly idea".

And that’s about as positive as he’ll be about President Trump. He thinks the president is acting in self interest, and not in the best interest of the country.

"I think that he's got a cabinet around him that believes in him. But it's not about him. It's about the American people," he says.

"Rightly so, he gets respect as the president. But the fact of the matter is, you got to be for the people again.

"I am not in favour of anybody that wants to act like a bully. America is not a bully country. That's not what we are. We're compassionate, we're willing to help."

The Silver Skillet Diner in Atlanta, Georgia has been in Teresa Breckinridge’s family for over 60 years. We last caught up with her back in October, just a month out from the election. At the time, she was all in on Donald Trump. Today, not much has changed.

“I’m just thrilled. It’s been a whirlwind,” she says, clutching her "Boss Lady" mug, bacon and egg earrings swinging as she nods enthusiastically. "He’s handling things wherever he can, multiple times a day, and he’s reporting back to the people. He’s an open book, which I think the American people really respect. You may not like what he says about this or that, but it’s an open book."

Back in October, one of Teresa’s main concerns was the economy. So how’s it going now?

"I think the tariffs will end up definitely being in our favour. It’s just common sense. It’s not right for the United States to be paying money out to all these countries for all of this, at all."

And there’s one promise she’s especially hoping he follows through on.

"Personally, I would love it if he could do the no-tax-on-tips thing … for the waitresses or anyone in the service industry. That’s how they make their living: by being nice and doing a good job."

As he left the White House, President Trump acknowledged that he spoke to Amazon founder Jeff Bezos earlier today following anger from the administration over a reported plan by Amazon to detail the price impact of tariffs to its customers.

Speaking to reporters, Trump said that Bezos was "very nice".

"He solved the problem very quickly and he did the right thing," he added.

Earlier, a source familiar confirmed to me that the phone call took place.

This afternoon, Amazon said it had looked into itemising the costs for customers who use Amazon Haul, a low-cost site it launched in the US last year to compete with Shein and Temu.

But it denied such a move had been under consideration for its primary e-commerce platform.

A source familiar with the Amazon discussions said they had been sparked by the end of the exemption from tariffs for shipments worth less than $800.

The person said the decision not to spotlight the new costs had been made prior to the White House complaints on Tuesday.

At his departure, Trump also touched on a number of other subjects, including a "big, beautiful" bill in Congress, auto tariffs and trade talks with India - which he said are "coming along great".

Donald Trump has just boarded Marine One, headed for Joint Base Andrews and Air Force One.

From there, he'll head to Selfridge Air National Guard Base and deliver brief remarks, before moving to Macomb County for tonight's rally.

Just moments before the helicopter took off, Trump emerged from the West Wing of the White House, strolling past the Rose Garden and the massive throng of reporters here to see him go.

Unlike previous times I've seen him depart from here, this time Trump seemed to be traveling without a large group of officials, boarding only with key staff such as the military aides.
