WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump on Tuesday night (Wednesday morning local India time) declared that America had witnessed “a turnaround for the ages” in just one year of his leadership, telling Congress that the country had achieved “a transformation like no one has ever seen before.”
“Tonight, after just one year, I can say with dignity and pride that we have achieved a transformation like no one has ever seen before, and a turnaround for the ages. We will never go back to where we were just a short time ago, ” Trump said in excerpts of his State of the Union address obtained by IANS from the White House.
His first State of the Union Address of his Second Term is expected to break the previous records of the longest such address. Informed sources said that they would not be surprised if it crossed 1 hour 45 minutes.
Invoking the founding ideals of the United States, he said, “From 1776 to today, every generation of Americans has stepped forward to defend life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for the next. Now, it is our turn.”
