Learn English with Ronald Reagan. President Ronald Reagan’s “Tear Down This Wall” speech marked his visit to the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin on June 12, 1987, following the G7 summit meeting in Venice. As Reagan spoke, his words were amplified to both sides of the Berlin Wall, reaching both East and West Germans. The President noted recent Soviet progress toward “a new policy of reform and openness,” but wondered, “Are these the beginnings of profound changes in the Soviet state? Or are they token gestures, intended to raise false hopes in the West, or to strengthen the Soviet system without changing it?” Reagan declared that the Berlin Wall offered the Soviets and their president, Mikhail Gorbachev, an opportunity to make a “sign” of their sincerity and “advance dramatically the cause of freedom and peace.” The “sign” Reagan proposed was simple: “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!”. Ronald Wilson Reagan was an American politician who served as the 40th president of the United States from 1981 to 1989 and became a highly influential voice of modern conservatism. – Watch with big English subtitles. ✅ Get the full transcript and audio of this speech FREE on our website: https://www.englishspeecheschannel.com/english-speeches/ronald-reagan-speech/ ✅ Also, download our FREE English Ebooks: https://www.englishspeecheschannel.com/free-english-ebooks ✅ Have you seen our NEW project? ?? https://www.youtube.com/c/BiographyTimeline ✅ Become a channel member.
