Addressing American Sovereignty and Values

The greatest in the United States Constitution

is its first three beautiful words.

They are, "We the people."

Generations of Americans have sacrificed to

maintain the promise of those words, the promise of our

country,

and of our great history.

In America,

the people govern, the people rule, and the

people are sovereign.

I was elected not to take power, but to give power

to the American people where it belongs.

In foreign affairs, we are renewing this founding principle of

sovereignty. Our government's first duty is to its

people, to our citizens. To serve their

needs, to ensure their safety, to preserve their rights, and to

defend their values.

As President of the United States, I will always put

America first,

just like you as the leaders of your countries

will always and should always

put your countries first.
