US President Donald Trump says the US state is now stronger than ever.

“I am thrilled to report to you tonight that our economy is the best it has ever been. Our military is completely rebuilt, with its power being unmatched anywhere in the world — and it’s not even close. Our borders are secure. Our families are flourishing. Our values are renewed. Our pride is restored. And for all of these reasons, I say to the people of our great country and to the members of Congress: The state of our Union is stronger than ever before,” he said in his State of the Union address.

The head of state briefly described the successes of the US, with particular emphasis on the economy. 

“Since my election, we have created 7 million new jobs — 5 million more than government experts projected during the previous administration,” he said.

According to him, unemployment is falling, with its level among African Americans and veterans reaching the lowest level in history, and for women - the lowest level in 70 years. 

“The unemployment rate for African Americans, Hispanic Americans, and Asian Americans has reached the lowest levels in history. African American youth unemployment has reached an all-time low. African American poverty has declined to the lowest rate ever recorded,” he said. “The unemployment rate for women reached the lowest level in almost 70 years. And, last year, women filled 72 percent of all new jobs added.”

Speaking about foreign policy, he described successes briefly: the US is again respected globally, and the enemies run. 

As he noted, from the instant he took office, he moved rapidly to revive the US economy — slashing a record number of job-killing regulations, enacting historic and record-setting tax cuts, and fighting for fair and reciprocal trade deals.
