US President Donald Trump delivered a primetime address alleging that China meddled in the 2020 US elections, claiming intelligence data revealed the theft of 220 million voter files.

The speech, which revived his false claims of election fraud, aimed to position election security as a key political issue ahead of the 2026 midterms.Trump accused the US intelligence community of suppressing information about China's alleged interference and called for swift federal action.His claims contradict a 2021 US intelligence assessment that found no evidence of foreign tampering with the 2020 election.The speech also highlighted Trump's push for the SAVE America Act, which seeks to impose stricter voter ID and citizenship requirements.Critics argue these measures could disenfranchise voters, while Democrats accuse Trump of trying to influence midterms in his favor.

The address, which was not broadcast by major networks, underscores Trump's ongoing efforts to challenge election integrity and reshape voting rules.
