Donald Trump has hailed the 'great American comeback' during his State Of The Union address.
He criticised the Obama administration, saying more than 300,000 working-age people had dropped out of the workforce during those eight years, whereas 3.5 million had joined the workforce since he came to power.
Mr Trump told politicians that the US had become the"number one producer of oil and natural gas in the world, by far" due to"our bold regulatory reduction campaign", despite the US moving to the top of the list for natural gas in 2009 and for petroleum hydrocarbon in 2013, both during the previous administration.
