In his speech he said while America needed to look after its own interests first, he remained committed to international security. He said pressure to make allies pay their fair share towards defence was paying off.

President Trump reiterates America-first pledge in first address to Congress

American President Donald Trump has made his first address to the US Congress, pledging to fulfill his campaign promises, including those that have divided the nation.

While he got applause from Republicans, Democrats were largely silent. 

Mr Trump stressed his America-first pledge, blaming international trade deals for the loss of American jobs and industries.

He said it was unacceptable that American exporters were forced to pay high tariffs, while foreign companies ship products to America almost for free.

Mr Trump has been a controversial President in his first month in office, but he tried to use the trade issue and its effect on the US economy, to get support from both parties.
