TIL Desk/World/UN/ President Donald Trump on Tuesday touted American sovereignty as he addressed world leaders at the United Nations General Assembly, saying the United States rejects the ideology of ‘globalism’ and embraces the doctrine of ‘patriotism’ and will always choose independence over global governance. “America is governed by Americans. We reject the ideology of globalism, and we embrace the doctrine of patriotism.
Around the world, responsible nations must defend against threats to sovereignty not just from global governance, but also from other, new forms of coercion and domination,” Trump said in his second address to the UN General Assembly’s annual General Debate that opened on Tuesday.
He said the US believes that when nations respect the rights of their neighbours and defend the interests of their people, they can better work together to secure the blessings of safety, prosperity and peace. As leaders from 193 UN member gathered in the iconic UNGA hall for the annual high-level session, Trump said each UN member and its leader is the emissary of a distinct culture, a rich history and a people bound together by ties of memory and tradition.
Trump, however, lauded India’s efforts to lift millions of its citizens out of poverty as he addressed world leaders at the 73rd session of the UNGA. “There is India, a free society (of) over a billion people, successfully lifting countless millions out of poverty and into the middle class,” Trump said.
