Tuesday morning, President Trump delivered his third address before the United Nations General Assembly. Once again, he did not engage in platitudes. He projected strength and determination
Trump delivered a strong defense of America and of national sovereignty. He vowed to oppose the UN Arms Treaty as an assault on our Second Amendment rights. And he flatly rejected globalism, saying, “The future does not belong to globalists. The future belongs to patriots.”
He offered a firm and honest evaluation of China’s predatory trade practices. He said the theory that trade would liberalize China has been “proven completely wrong.”
Trump noted that 60,000 American factories have closed in the years after China joined the World Trade Organization. He also accused China of “gaming the system” by continuing to insist it remains a “developing country,” when in fact it is the second-largest economy in the world.
With the Chinese delegation sitting in the room, Trump called out the communist regime in Beijing. He said that China made pledges with respect to Hong Kong, and if China wants to be taken seriously it must keep its word and honor the rights of Hong Kong’s residents.
On Iran, Trump condemned the regime’s “monstrous anti-Semitism” and its pursuit of nuclear weapons. He declared Iran “one of the greatest security threats to peace-loving nations” and vowed to tighten sanctions as long as the regime continues its belligerent activities.
The president had strong words for those promoting open borders. He accused them of exploiting “social justice” while enabling human trafficking.
He said, “Your [open borders] policies are not just; your policies are cruel and evil,” adding, “As long as I am president of the United States, we will enforce our laws and protect our borders.”
Trump said:
Americans will never tire of defending innocent life… We are aware that many United Nations projects have attempted to assert a global right to taxpayer-funded abortion on demand, right up until the moment of delivery.
Americans will never tire of defending innocent life… We are aware that many United Nations projects have attempted to assert a global right to taxpayer-funded abortion on demand, right up until the moment of delivery.
Global bureaucrats have absolutely no business attacking the sovereignty of nations that wish to protect innocent life.
