Trump speech to Congress promises 'renewal of American spirit'

AKIPRESS.COM - President Donald Trump has said the US is witnessing a "renewal of the American spirit", as he delivered his first speech to Congress, reports BBC.

Adopting a measured, upbeat tone, the Republican president spoke of a "new chapter of American greatness".

Mr Trump condemned recent vandalism of Jewish cemeteries and a shooting in Kansas that left an Indian man dead.

His primetime address sought to bolster his low approval ratings after a bumpy start to his fledgling presidency.

At the outset of Tuesday night's hour-long speech, Mr Trump tackled recent suspected hate crimes, saying "we are a country that stands united in condemning hate and evil in all its very ugly forms".
