WASHINGTON
-
U.S.
Senator
Tim
Scott
(R-SC)
released
the
following
statement
after
President
Donald
Trump's
State
of
the
Union
address:
"Tonight
the
President
shared
how
America
is
open
for
business.
We
were
able
to
pass
a
once-in-a-generation
opportunity
–
tax
reform.
As
the
President
mentioned
during
his
speech
tonight,
this
monumental
accomplishment
has
produced
amazing
results.
Over
3
million
workers
are
receiving
increased
benefits,
and
90
percent
of
Americans
will
see
bigger
paychecks.
This
is
great
news
for
single
mothers,
young
entrepreneurs
and
hardworking
Americans
who
want
to
simply
provide
for
their
families.
"As
we
look
for
more
ways
to
strengthen
our
economy,
it
was
great
to
hear
the
President
also
talk
about
workforce
development
and
trade
policy
tonight.
"I
was
also
pleased
to
hear
the
President
focus
on
national
security.
His
decision
to
keep
the
detention
facility
in
Guantanamo
Bay,
Cuba
(GITMO)
is
smart,
necessary,
and
will
keep
our
nation
safer.
"Additionally,
we
must
ensure
our
troops
are
trained
and
equipped
with
necessary
resources,
to
help
them
prepare
for
future
and
ongoing
threats
against
our
democracy
—
while
also,
maintaining
policy
that
promotes
peace
and
stability
around
the
world.
And
by
inviting
heroes
such
as
Corporal
Matthew
Bradford,
whose
story
should
spark
the
patriotism
in
all
of
our
hearts,
the
President
only
continues
to
show
his
commitment
to
our
brave
men
and
women
in
uniform.
"While
there
is
still
progress
to
be
made
culturally,
I
believe
the
policies
we
put
forth
will
only
continue
to
encourage
tremendous
success.
Whether
it
is
by
creating
more
jobs
right
here
at
home
or
moving
forward
on
border
security
and
a
permanent
solution
for
DREAMERS,
we
will
build
a
brighter
future
for
generations
to
come."
