Trump’s Boasts Draw Laughter at United Nations General Assembly

Members of the United Nations’ General Assembly laughed at United States president Donald Trump after he made the disputable boast that his government had “accomplished more than nearly any administration in the history of our country”.

Put aside the delegates’ laughter after Trump boasted of his administration’s “extraordinary” achievements.

Rouhani was defiant in his speech to the world body.

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani responded by accusing the Trump administration of violating the rules of worldwide law and “state obligations” by withdrawing from the 2015 nuclear deal that Iran signed with the US and five other major powers. This is no happy occurrence.

“So true”, Trump continued, which caused more laughter in the General Assembly hall.

Pompeo argues that the president’s focus on defending American sovereignty has paid dividends for both the USA and the rest of the world.

Iran says the signatories to the JCPOA need to bear the cost of standing up to U.S. sanctions in order to keep the deal alive following Washington’s unilateral and illegal withdrawal. We’re going to get this right.

He referenced a list of United Nations bodies, from the International Criminal Court to the Human Rights Council, that his administration is working to undermine.

That’s the real lost opportunity of this General Assembly. Trump has isolated the United States instead of isolating Iran. Though he held out the possibility of a better relationship in the future, he made clear economic pressure on Iran would not abate. Break-out time was just two to three months.

In a speech before world leaders at the U.N. General Assembly, Trump issued a sharp warning to the leaders Iran, Syria, Venezuela and China over what he described as their rogue behavior.

He also said he would travel to Pyongyang soon to help lay the groundwork for a summit.

European foreign ministers were prepared to engage; now their energy is consumed trying to preserve the nuclear agreement.

Following a meeting with the foreign ministers of China, France, Germany, Russia, the United Kingdom and Iran, the EU’s foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini announced that new payment channels would be created to bypass USA sanctions against Tehran.

Meanwhile, the Iranian chief executive also met with leaders of US Muslim communities in NY. Its foibles and flaws are renowned.

The national security advisor reaffirmed the US stance that it expects Iranian oil customers to have cut their imports of oil from Tehran to zero by November 4, and urged banking and financial services to rethink deals with Iran.

Defending multilateralism and collective action, he said nationalism would lead to failure and if countries stopped defending basic principles, global wars would return.
