In his annual State of the Union address to Congress, US President Donald Trump on Tuesday renewed his vow to negotiate a troop withdrawal from Afghanistan, saying he had no desire to kill "hundreds of thousands" in unending fighting, SIA reports.
"We are working to finally end America's longest war and bring our troops back home," Trump said.
Trump also stressed the new trade agreements his administration has negotiated in his speech. The President called the previous North American Free Trade Agreement, NAFTA, "disastrous" and touted its replacement, USMCA. He also spoke about the use of tariffs and the new, recently signed agreement with China.
Trump was speaking one day before the Senate will vote on whether to remove him from office for pressuring Ukraine to dig up dirt on a political rival. He is widely expected to be acquitted after his impeachment by the Democratic-led House of Representatives.
Trump did not pronounce the word "impeachment" once in the prepared text of the 20-page self-congratulatory speech.
