No matter who you are, what you look like, or where you come from, if you work hard and meet your responsibilities, you can succeed.

We support efforts that will boost demand, create new jobs, and promote strong, sustainable, and balanced growth.
We are united in our determination to impose costs on Russia for its actions.
As President, my top priority is doing everything that we can to create more jobs and opportunity for hard-working families.
Together, the United States and Germany coordinate closely on the full range of security issues.
Just as our predecessors stood united in pursuit of that vision, so will we.
