US President Barack Obama last night rejected the claim that America is in decline, though he acknowledged that his country cannot control every event in a changing world.
In his annual State of the Union address to the Congress, the president claimed that "The renewal of American leadership can be felt across the globe."
"Anyone who tells you otherwise, anyone who tells you that America is in decline or that our influence has waned, doesn't know what they're talking about," he said in his prime-time address.
"That's not the message we get from leaders around the world, all of whom are eager to work with us," he said.
"That's not how people feel from Tokyo to Berlin, from Cape Town to Rio, where opinions of America are higher than they've been in years."
"Yes, the world is changing; no, we can't control every event," he acknowledged, adding "But America remains the one indispensable nation in world affairs, and as long as I'm president, I intend to keep it that way."
