In State of the Union address, Trump vows to 'build that wall'

February 06, 2019 08:25

United States President Donald Trump has called for rejecting politics of revenge, resistance and retribution in his annual State of the Union address.

"We must reject the politics of revenge, resistance and retribution and embrace the boundless potential of cooperation, compromise, and the common good," he said.

Praising legal immigrants, Trump said he wants people to come into the US, but they have to come in legally.

"In the past, most of the people in this room voted for a wall, but the proper wall never got built. I will get it built.

"Now is the time for the Congress to show the world that America is committed to ending illegal immigration and putting the ruthless coyotes, cartels, drug dealers, and human traffickers out of business," he said.

Trump also slammed 'ridiculous partisan investigations', says if there is going to be peace and legislation, there cannot be war and investigation. -- PTI/ANI
