The fact of the matter is, is that the murder rate today, the violence rate today, is far lower than it was when Ronald Reagan was president, and lower than when I took office.

I'm going to make sure that I can do everything I can to move this in a positive direction.

I am deeply disappointed that Republicans failed to provide any real resources for those seeking addiction treatment to get the care that they need.

Every day, 78 Americans die from opioid overdoses.

We will intensify bilateral cooperation to protect the critically endangered vaquita marina porpoise.

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, I hereby order as follows:

I commend President Peña Nieto on Mexico's historic transition to an accusatory justice system.

The United States values tremendously our enduring partnership with Mexico and our extraordinary ties of family and friendship with the Mexican people.

Violent crime is substantially lower today than it was 10 years ago, 20 years ago, or 30 years ago.

The United States' commitment to expanding practical cooperation and constructively managing differences with China.

I am proud of what we've achieved together and proud to stand with you and the Mexican people as our brothers and sisters in progress.

On a whole host of issues, from our shared security to climate change, Mexico is a critical partner and is critically important to our own well-being.
