"This
is our new American moment," Trump declared to lawmakers
gathered at the Capitol for his first State of the Union address.
President
Donald Trump on Tuesday night said that that his administration's
policies on jobs, deregulation and national security have spurred a
"new American moment."
"This
is our new American moment," Trump declared to lawmakers
gathered at the Capitol for his first State of the Union address.
The
president pointed to tax cuts passed at the close of last year, along
with planned pushes for infrastructure and immigration reform and
continued deregulation efforts by the administration.
Trump
asked members of both parties "to come together to give us the
safe, fast, reliable and modern infrastructure our economy needs,"
while coalescing around an immigration plan that protects Americans
"of every background, color and creed."
While
delivering his first State of the Union address, the US President
declared suspension of security assistance to Pakistan. He also
said that nations like China and Russia challenge American economy
and values.
The
White house in a tweet said that Trump’s conditions-based South
Asia Strategy provides commanders with the authority and resources
needed to deny terrorists the safe haven they seek in Afghanistan and
Pakistan.
Trump
said that no regime has oppressed its own citizens more totally or
brutally than the cruel dictatorship in North Korea and further added
that North Korea's reckless pursuit of nuclear missiles could very
soon threaten American homeland.
