US President Barack Obama has declared an end to the financial crisis and pledged economic policies to benefit all Americans, in his annual State of the Union address to Congress.
"Tonight, we turn the page," he said. "The shadow of crisis has passed, and the State of the Union is strong."
In a speech devised to appeal to working families, Mr Obama outlined his strategy for "middle-class economics".
But the plans are unlikely to make it past a Republican-controlled Congress.
Mr Obama also reiterated his foreign policy objectives, saying that the US reserved the "right to act unilaterally" when hunting down terrorists.
America had supported Ukraine throughout its battle with pro-Russia separatists, leaving Russia "isolated, with its economy in tatters", he added.
