Trump Applauds ISIS Defeat, Keeps Heat on North Korea
over 7 years in Roll Call
President Donald Trump on Tuesday night touted the military’s success against the Islamic State terror group, his administration’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and intensifying pressure on North Korea as his key national security accomplishments in his first year in office.
During his first State of the Union address, Trump also announced that he had signed an order to keep open the controversial Guantanamo Bay military detention facility in Cuba. And he called on Congress to lift defense budget caps as the two parties remain firmly at odds over spending, with Democrats insisting on equal increases for nondefense dollars.
