President
Trump praised his first year of Presidency as a progressive one where he
achieved a big economic milestone but he has shied away from the allegations of
trying to fire Robert Mueller over the Russia Investigations. You can read his
full speech here.
It's a privilege to be at this forum where
leaders in business, art, diplomacy and world affairs have gathered for many,
many years to discuss how we can advance prosperity, security and peace.
I'm here
today to represent the interests of the American people and to affirm America's
friendship and partnership in building a better world. Like all nations
represented at this great forum, America hopes for a future in whichever one
can prosper and every child can grow up free from violence, poverty and fear.
Over the
past year, we have made extraordinary strides in the US. We're lifting up
forgotten communities, creating exciting new opportunities and helping every
American find their path to the American dream: the dream of a great job, a
safe home and a better life for their children.
After
years of stagnation, the United States is once again experiencing strong
economic growth. The stock market is smashing one record after another and has
added more than $7 trillion in new wealth since my election. Consumer
confidence, business confidence and manufacturing confidence are the highest
they have been in many decades.
Since my
election, we've created 2.4 million jobs, and that number is going up very, very
substantially. Small business optimism is at an all-time high. New unemployment
claims are near the lowest we've seen in almost half a century.
African-American unemployment has reached the lowest rate ever recorded in the
United States and so has unemployment among Hispanic Americans.
The world
is witnessing the resurgence of a strong and prosperous America. I'm here to
deliver a simple message: there has never been a better time to hire, to build,
to invest and to grow in the United States. America is open for business, and
we are competitive once again. The American economy is by far the largest in
the world, and we've just enacted the most significant tax cuts and reform in
American history.
