Trump called Russia and China are rivals, challenging the interests and values of the USA
WASHINGTON, January 31. /TASS./ Russia and China are at this stage, opponents of the United States that challenge American interests, economy and values.
It is claimed the President is Donald trump, speaking on Tuesday with his first annual message to Congress “On the situation of the country.”
“In the world we are faced with the regimes of rogue terrorist groups and rivals like China and Russia who challenge our interests, our economy and our values,” said the White house.
He added that the United States should modernize and rebuild its nuclear Arsenal.
“We must modernize and rebuild its nuclear Arsenal, hoping that we never have to use it, but making it so powerful that it kept any acts of aggression,” — said the head of the American administration.
Trump incredibly thin speech on how to deal with China and Russia. Build the military. Nothing more.

However, he believes unattainable at this stage of history the idea of ensuring a nuclear-free world. “Perhaps in the future there will come a magical moment when the world will unite to eliminate nuclear weapons. Unfortunately, we have not yet come”, — said the owner of the White house.

The threat of sequestration in the military budget of the country arose from the fact that the Republicans and Democrats in Congress failed to agree among themselves on the approval of the full budget for the 2018 fiscal year, which began four months ago. To the activities of the government not stopped lawmakers are forced to adopt laws on temporary funding of the Federal ministries and departments. The validity of next — already the fourth — deferment will expire on February 8.
As for the Pentagon, members of Congress late last year approved a limit on the level of military spending in the nearly $700 billion for the current fiscal year. But the bill on the allocation of these funds is still not approved.
