Not to mention the rope

The United States must find new friends in the world and establish cooperation with various countries in those areas where their interests coincide. This was stated by US President Donald Trump in his first performance before Congress "On the Regulation of the Country", CNN reports .

“America wants to find new friends and establishing new partnerships where interests coincide. We want harmony and stability, not wars and conflicts,” the president said. “America is friends with former enemies today. Some of our closest allies fought several decades on the opposite side in world wars. This story should give us a faith in the opportunity to improve the world.”

The United States will continue to fully support NATO - the Union, "born in two world wars and defeating fascism and communism," Trump emphasized. “We must be active participants in world politics, and we support NATO. But our partners must fulfill their financial obligations. And I want to say that the money went,” the president said.

According to the president, the United States must change the structure of immigration, limiting the entry of unskilled labor and attracting highly qualified specialists. Trump also announced the beginning of the construction of the wall on the border with Mexico.

Trump considers the most important tasks of his administration to ensure the security of the country, the fight against crime and the creation of new jobs.

In the speech of Trump, Russia was not mentioned. In this regard, Congressman-Democrat Stephen Beshir said that the president is underestimating the threat of US national security emanating from Russia. "The president ignores the fact that Russia is not our friend and threatens our national security," Beshir said.

On February 22, the representative of the White House Sean Spicer said that Trump intends to conclude a deal with Russia in the fight against terrorism and the Islamic State, as well as in matters of economic development. “He made it clear that if he could conclude a deal with Russia, such as the last few administrations tried to conclude, he will do this. If he can’t do it. But he intends to try. He will try, and his successes as a businessman and negotiating say that he will succeed,” Spicier said.

“He understands that if he can find a common language in the field of fighting the Islamic State, in the field of economic development in which we have common interests, then he will do so. It is in this direction that we will continue to work with Russia,” the official said.
