On Sep. 23, President Trump spoke to the United Nations General Assembly, the main body of the UN that meets to discuss, debate, and make recommendations on international issues. He addressed peacemaking, immigration, and climate change.
His speech focused on the following points:
Trump questioned the purpose of the UN, stating that it is not living up to its overall potential. He also said that the UN was failing to solve wars and global problems.
“America First” and National Sovereignty
Trump said that nations should guard their sovereignty, putting “their own countries” first. He strongly emphasized the concept that countries should reject globalism.
Immigration and Border Security
Trump warned that immigration policies in European countries were going to lead to their eventual downfall. He called for nations to close their borders, claiming that by allowing “illegal aliens” into their countries, Europe was destroying its heritage.
He addressed the issue of climate change, calling the science behind it a “scam.” He expressed skepticism of global environmental initiatives.
Trump stated, “In a period of just seven months, I have ended seven ‘un-endable’ wars,” adding that it was unfortunate he had to take action instead of the United Nations.
Overall, Trump’s style of delivery was blunt and skeptical of international institutions. His speech emphasized his beliefs about the importance of sovereignty, strength, and the United States’ role in the United Nations and the world.
