"Our nation is back with an economy roaring like never before. American oil production is up by more than 600,000 barrels a day and natural gas production is at an all-time high because I kept my promise to drill, baby, drill. The United States now has the strongest and most secure border in American history."
"Iran is the world's number one sponsor of terror. They've already developed missiles that can threaten Europe and our bases overseas, and they're working to build missiles that will soon reach the United States of America. My preference is to solve this problem through diplomacy, but I will never allow Iran to obtain a nuclear weapon."
President Trump delivered a record-length State of the Union address highlighting domestic economic achievements and immigration enforcement. He claimed increased oil and natural gas production, stating American oil output rose over 600,000 barrels daily and natural gas reached all-time highs. Trump asserted the US now has the strongest border in history, contrasting this with previous administrations allowing millions of illegal entries. The address included recognition of the US men's ice hockey team's Olympic gold medal, with goaltender Connor Hellebuyck receiving the Presidential Medal of Freedom. On foreign policy, Trump characterized Iran as the world's leading terror sponsor, claiming Iranian military develops missiles threatening the United States, while expressing preference for diplomatic solutions. He also referenced a January special forces operation resulting in Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro's abduction.
