US President Donald Trump in his first formal State of the Union address urged both Republicans and Democrats to set aside their differences in order to seek out common ground. The president, in his address, said, “Tonight, I call upon all of us to set aside our differences, to seek out common ground, and to summon the unity we need to deliver for the people we were elected to serve.”

President Trump also pointed out the environmental adversities United States endured in recent months. Lauding the rescue efforts of Cajun Navy volunteers, the president said, “Each test has forged new American heroes to remind us who we are, and show us what we can be. We saw the volunteers of Cajun Navy, racing to the rescue with fishing boats to save people in the aftermath of a devastating hurricane.”
