CAIRO – 6 December 2017: "I think it’s long overdue. Many presidents have said they want to do something and they didn’t do it," U.S. President Donald Trump said in a Cabinet meeting ahead of his midday speech on Israel, according to Reuters.

In a preceding speech before the Cabinet's meeting, Trump stated that his decision regarding Jerusalem “has been delayed too long,” according to Reuters. The president concluded his comments by addressing the Jerusalem issue.

The president began his speech by outlining some statistics regarding the economy in the U.S. and employment rates.

Trump promised economic reforms to support the increasing unemployment rate and promised benefits for the middle class. “We’re going to have a fantastic tax bill,” Trump asserted.

The American president also asserted that the American military is “getting stronger,” according to CNN. “We don’t want them [ISIS elements] going into our country,” Trump stated during his speech.
