President
Donald J. Trump promised that putting America first
would be the solemn duty of his Administration. That approach
also makes for an effective foundation for U.S. leadership in
the world.
Here
are five accomplishments from the past year:
•
|
Destroying
ISIS: The Trump Administration worked with allies
to liberate territory occupied by the self-declared
caliphate. In December, the Iraqi government announced all
Iraqi territory had been freed from ISIS control.
|
•
|
Responding to
Syria's use of chemical weapons: In April, the
United States, the United Kingdom, and France launched
strikes against targets associated with Syria's chemical
weapons capabilities, responding forcefully to the Assad
regime's savage attacks.
|
•
|
Recognizing
Jerusalem as Israel's capital: President Trump
followed through on his promise—and that of prior U.S.
presidents—to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital. The
U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem, called for by Congress since
1994, officially opened last month.
|
•
|
Withdrawing
from the unacceptable Iran deal: The deal provided
the Iranian regime with a windfall of cash to destabilize
the Middle East. President Trump ended U.S. participation in
the deal and directed his Administration to begin
re-imposing sanctions.
|
•
|
Momentum for
real change in North Korea: With the historic
Singapore summit, President Trump took a bold first step to
completely, verifiably, and irreversibly denuclearize the
Korean Peninsula. Before the talks, Kim Jong Un had already
released three detained Americans and appears to have closed
his nuclear test site.

The largest
gathering of Hispanic clergy in the United States
The
12th Annual National Hispanic Prayer Breakfast and Conference
took place this week in Washington, D.C. Vice
President Mike Pence addressed the group yesterday, discussing
how faith is the great unifier in a diverse country.
"[Remember]
those words that Americans have clung to throughout
our Nation's history, words first inscribed millennia ago,"
the Vice President said. "That in these challenging times
of seemingly too much division, that we still have hope and we
still have confidence, because we believe Him who said, 'I know
the plans I have for you . . . plans to prosper you, and not to
harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future.'"
