We meet tonight at a moment of unlimited potential. Our new U. S.
-Mexico-Canada Agreement — the U. S. M.
C. A. — will replace Nafta and deliver for American workers like they haven’t had delivered to for a long time.
An economic miracle is taking place in the United States — and the only thing that can stop it are foolish wars, politics or ridiculous partisan investigations. In the past, most of the people in this room voted for a wall. But the proper wall never got built.
I will get it built. [applause] No issue better illustrates the divide between America’s working class and America’s political class than illegal immigration. Wealthy politicians and donors push for open borders while living their lives behind walls and gates and guards.
All Americans can be proud that we have more women in the workforce than ever before. [applause] You also have more women serving in Congress than at any time before. [cheering] To defend the dignity of every person, I am asking Congress to pass legislation to prohibit the late-term abortion of children who can feel pain in the mother’s womb.
[cheering] Great nations do not fight endless wars. If I had not been elected president of the United States, we would right now, in my opinion, be in a major war with North Korea. ” Chairman Kim and I will meet again on Feb.
27 and 28 in Vietnam. When I took office, ISIS controlled more than 20,000 square miles in Iraq and Syria. Just two years ago.
Today, we have liberated virtually all of the territory from the grip of these bloodthirsty monsters. Now, as we work with our allies to destroy the remnants of ISIS, it is time to give our brave warriors in Syria a warm welcome home.
