US President Donald Trump addressed the global community on Tuesday morning with a speech before the UN General Assembly that sought to justify his war with Iran, touted how he has “made peace” and argued that his “make America great again” policies benefited the world.
His speech came as the world grapples with years of conflict in Ukraine, Iran, Gaza, Sudan, Yemen and Lebanon, with no relief in sight.
“I can report to you with pride that America is back, and our country is stronger today than ever before,” he said. “Our nation is growing. Our power is expanding. Our country is doing better than ever before, and our future is very, very bright.”
