‘A Nation of
believers’
Each year for more than half a
century, the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington has drawn
religious leaders and members from both sides of the aisle in
Congress to reflect on the importance of faith in public life.
This morning, President
Donald J. Trump delivered remarks to the thousands assembled
for this year’s event. He also dined last night with faith
leaders and a bipartisan group of senators and congressmen
ahead of today’s session. The President’s guests included
Reverend Franklin Graham, Pastor Paula White, and Pastor Robert
Jeffress.
“America is a Nation
of believers,” President Trump said this morning. “Across
our land we see the splendor of God’s creation. . . .
Together as Americans, we are a tireless force for justice and
for peace.”

U.S. will unveil tough new North Korea sanctions
Vice
President Mike Pence completed his first day in Japan
yesterday, meeting with Japanese Defense Minister Itsunori
Onodera, participating in a bilateral meeting with Prime
Minister Shinzo Abe, and reaffirming the United States’
unwavering commitment to the United States-Japan alliance.
Something else the Vice
President did will send a powerful message to both our allies
in Asia and the international community beyond: He announced
that the United States will soon unveil the toughest and most
aggressive round of economic sanctions on North Korea ever.
“We will continue to
isolate North Korea until it abandons its nuclear and ballistic
missile programs once and for all,” Vice President Pence
said. “We have brought unprecedented diplomatic and economic
pressure to bear on North Korea through our maximum pressure
campaign.”
