State of the Union



Outlook 02/06: President Trump delivered the State of the Union address to Congress last night. Trump said the administration is seeking fair trade, cheaper prescription drug prices, and an improvement in the nation's infrastructure. Trump also disclosed that he plans to meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un on February 27-28 in Vietnam. Illegal immigration was a major topic as expected, "Congress has 10 days left to pass a bill that will fund our government, protect our homeland, and secure our Southern Border," he stated without directly threatening another shutdown. No great surprise, but Trump also maintained that the unfair trade practices of China must end. U.S. stock futures were up slightly going into the address and barely budged during the speech.
