I wish to extend our warm congratulations to the people of the United States on the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.
As a young student at Furman Unversity I remember reading the Federalist Paper and the Declaration of Independence.
”We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”
Finland's ties to the United States reach back to its founding. Among the signers of the Declaration was John Morton, a Founding Father who is remembered for being of Finnish descent.
The United States and the Federalist Papers have played an important role in laying the foundation for constitutional democracies across the world.
Today as friends and allies our countries work together more closely than ever. Finland looks forward to the next 250 years of friendship and partnership.
Here's the deal... God lets us make decisions. Those decisions have consequences and ramifications. However, those decisions have also led you to where you are right now, which is right where God wants you to be. So, you aren't perfect, just forgiven. Stay focused on what's ahead.

Perché atterrare su una strada? 🛣️
Non è una manovra spettacolare.
È una capacità operativa. 🎯
Addestrarsi a operare da piste "non convenzionali" significa continuare a garantire capacità di risposta anche quando le infrastrutture principali non sono disponibili.
Non a caso i velivoli F-35B dell’#AeronauticaMilitare si sono addestrati in Finlandia 🇫🇮: un Paese che ha sviluppato da decenni una forte esperienza nell’impiego di "basi stradali" e infrastrutture alternative.
Grazie alla capacità di decollo corto e atterraggio verticale, in gergo #STOVL (Short Take Off and Vertical Landing), questi aeroplani possono operare anche da spazi ridotti, esprimendo flessibilità, prontezza e capacità di risposta. ⚡
#Difesa: pronti ovunque.
Anche dove una pista non c’è. 🛫
I thank the Finnish authorities for their swift reaction to the drone alert this morning.
Our authorities demonstrated their readiness and capacity to react.
There is no direct military threat against Finland.
I am relieved that President Trump, the First Lady and the guests of the White House Correspondents’ Dinner are safe.
Violence against politicians and the media have no place in democracy. I have conveyed my support in the face of this attack to @POTUS .
But the thing is, I still choose God. Even when it's hard, even when it doesn't make sense, even when it's taking longer than I ever expected, I still choose Him.
All I know is I would rather go through this with Him than without Him.

@RealKyper, @jtbourne and @SamAMcKee debate whether Canada got a break on Finland's late high-sticking penalty.
