"In
America, the people govern, the people rule, and the people
are sovereign. I was elected not to take power, but to give
power to the American people where it belongs. In foreign affairs,
we are renewing this founding principle of sovereignty. Our
government's first duty is to its people, to our citizens, to
serve their needs, to ensure their safety, to preserve their
rights, and to defend their values. As president of the United
States, I will always put America first. "
