President Trump spoke to the UN this morning with a focus on sovereignty and an America First agenda:

“America will always choose independence and cooperation over global governance, control and domination.”

“I honor the right of every nation in this room to pursue its own customs, beliefs and traditions. The United States will not tell you how to live, work or worship. We only ask that you honor our sovereignty in return.”

“REJECT THE IDEOLOGY OF GLOBALISM AND ACCEPT THE IDEOLOGY OF PATRIOTISM”

The president focused on Iran:

“Iran’s leaders sew chaos, death and disruption. They do not respect their neighbors, borders or the sovereign rights of nations. Instead, they plunder the nation’s resources to enrich themselves and to spread mayhem across the Middle East and far beyond.”

“The Iran deal was a windfall for Iran’s leaders. In the year since the deal has been reached, the military budget grew nearly 40 percent. The dictatorship used the funds to build nuclear capable missiles, increase internal repression, finance terrorism and fund havoc and slaughter in Syria and Yemen.”

President Trump also focused on North Korea:

“Since that meeting, we have already seen a number of encouraging measures that few could have imagined, only a short time ago. The missiles and rockets are no longer flying in every direction. Nuclear testing has stopped. Some military facilities are already being dismantled. Our hostages have been released, and as promised, the remains of our fallen heroes are being returned home.”

The speech was spot on in that it focused on our successes and on Trump’s agenda to put America first instead of the former administration’s effort to have a more global view.
