President @realDonaldTrump: "Last night, at my direction, the United States military conducted a successful operation to rescue an American hostage in Nigeria, kidnapped just 96 hours earlier.
United States Special Forces executed a daring nighttime operation to rescue their fellow American with exceptional skill, precision, and bravery. No United States Service Members were harmed. The former hostage is currently in good health and has been reunited with his family.
Securing the freedom of Americans held in captivity abroad has been a top national security priority of my Administration. Since the beginning of my Administration, we have rescued over 55 hostages and detainees in more than 24 countries.
BREAKING: President @realDonaldTrump, Sudanese Chairman of the Sovereignty Council Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok, and Israeli Prime Minister @netanyahu just spoke to discuss Sudan’s historic progress toward democracy and opportunities to advance peace.
After decades of living under dictatorship, the people of Sudan are finally taking charge.
The Sudanese transitional government has demonstrated its courage and commitment to combating terrorism, building its democratic institutions, and improving relations with its neighbors.
In light of this historic progress, and following President @realDonaldTrump's decision to remove Sudan from the State Sponsors of Terrorism list, the United States and Israel have agreed to partner with Sudan in its new start.
President @realDonaldTrump understands that all job creation is local. His strategy is WORKING for the farmers, frackers, miners, steelworkers, and families of Pennsylvania!
Under President @realDonaldTrump, Pennsylvania’s once-stagnant energy industry is roaring back to life, now supporting over 322,000 jobs and providing affordable energy to nearly *half* of Pennsylvania homes!
After the previous Administration slashed our defense budget and depleted our military, President @realDonaldTrump has made historic investments in American military readiness.
@DeptofDefense investments alone now employ more than 57,000 Pennsylvanians!
"Every year, China dumps millions and millions of tons of plastic and trash into the oceans, overfishes other countries’ waters, destroys vast swaths of coral reef, and emits more toxic mercury into the atmosphere than any country anywhere in the world.
China’s carbon emissions are nearly twice what the U.S. has, and it’s rising fast.
By contrast, after I withdrew from the one-sided Paris Climate Accord, last year America reduced its carbon emissions by more than any country in the agreement.
