Mary Curtis: President Trump’s U.N. Speech
President Trump did not say βAmerica Firstβ; but he didnβt have to
CHARLOTTE, NC — President Trump did not say βAmerica Firstβ; but he didnβt have to. His message this week to world leaders was the same one his administration has been sharing since he was elected.
In a speech influenced by his senior domestic adviser Stephen Miller and national security adviser John Bolton, Trump rejected globalism and affirmed the U.S. withdrawal from international agreements.
“America will always choose independence and cooperation over global governance, control and domination,β Trump said.
President TrumpβsΒ boasts about accomplishments in the first two years of his presidency also drew laughter from the assembled leaders.
