President Trump Delivers His First Address To The UN General Assembly Today
National security adviser H.R. McMaster has reportedly advised Trump against using the phrase, calling it “counterproductive”.
In March 2016, he said: “The United Nations is not a friend of democracy, it’s not a friend to freedom, it’s not a friend even to the United States of America”. That’s what the United Nations is for.
Financial markets showed little reaction to Trump’s speech, with most major assets hovering near the unchanged mark on the day. “While the United Nations on a regular budget has increased by 140 percent, and its staff has more than doubled since 2000, we are not seeing the results in line with this investment”.
‘But I know that under the secretary-general, that’s changing and it’s changing fast’. “And we’ve seen it”.
Reading carefully from a script, Trump promised the United States military would soon be the strongest it has ever been.
Trump also emphasized his belief that no one member state should “militarily or financially” shoulder a greater part of the burden, which does hand in hand with his thoughts on North Atlantic Treaty Organisation.
The tough words cheered the delegation from Israel, whose prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, and advisers applauded.
Trump said increases in the U.N.’s budget and staffing haven’t yielded results. Asked about President Donald Trump’s warning last month that the North Korean threat to the United States will be met with “fire and fury”, Haley said, “It was not an empty threat”.
US Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley warned that the world body has “exhausted” its options on the Korean Peninsula nuclear issue. Trump is set to be the second world leader to speak, as per tradition, after Brazil, represented by President Michel Temer. And this story is a little more complicated, right?
“Renouncing it would be a serious error, not respecting it would be irresponsible because it is a good accord that is essential to peace at a time when the risk of an internal conflagration can not be excluded”, he said after the U.S. president’s address.
During his speech before the United Nations General Assembly, President Trump said America will “totally destroy North Korea” if the rogue nation continues with their hostile provocations.
