President Trump Reviews
The world as
millions of our citizens continue to suffer the effects of the devastate
Hurricanes that have struck our country
I want to begin by expressing my appreciation to every leader in this room who has offered
assistance and aid
The American people are strong and resilient, and they will emerge from these hardships more determined than ever before
Fortunately the United States has done
Very well
since election day last November eighth
the stock market is at an all-time high a
record
unemployment is at its lowest level in 16 years and
because of our regulatory and other reforms
We have more people working in the United States today than ever before
Companies are moving back
Creating job growth the likes of which our country has not seen in a very long time
And it has just been announced that we will be spending almost seven hundred billion
dollars on our military and defense
Our military will soon be the strongest it has ever been
For more than 70 years in times of war and peace
the leaders of nations
Movements and religions have stood before this assembly like them. I intend to address
Some of the very serious threats before us today
But also the enormous potential waiting to be unleashed
We live in a time of extraordinary
opportunity
breakthroughs in science
technology and medicine are
Curing illnesses and solving problems that prior generations thought impossible to solve
But each day also brings news of growing dangers that threaten
Everything we cherish and value
Terrorists and extremists have gathered strength and spread to every region of the planet
rogue regimes represented in this body
Not only support terrorism
But threaten other nations and their own people with the most destructive weapons known to humanity
Authority and
Authoritarian powers seek to collapse
The values the systems and alliances that prevented conflict and tilted the world
toward freedom since World War two
international criminal networks
traffic drugs weapons people
force dislocation and mass migration
threaten our borders and new forms of aggression exploit technology
to Menace our
citizens to put it simply we meet at a time of
both immense promise and great peril
It is entirely up to us whether we lift the world to new heights, or let it fall into a valley of
disrepair
We have it in our power
Should we so choose to lift millions from poverty to help our citizens realize their dreams and to?
Ensure that new generations of children are raised free from violence
hatred and fear
This
Institution was founded in the aftermath of two world wars
To help shape this better future it
Was based on the vision that diverse nations could cooperate to protect their sovereignty
preserve their security and
Promote their prosperity it was in the same period exactly
Seventy years ago that the United States developed the Marshall Plan to help restore Europe
those three beautiful pillars their pillars of
peace
sovereignty
security and prosperity
The Marshall Plan was built on the noble idea that the whole world is safer when nations are strong
independent and free as
President Truman said in his message to Congress at that time our
support of
European recovery is in full accord with our support of the United Nations the
success of the United Nations depends upon the independent strength
Of
its members to overcome the perils of the present and
To achieve the promise of the future we must begin with the wisdom of the past
our success depends on a
coalition of strong and independent nations that embrace their sovereignty to
promote security prosperity and peace for themselves and
for the world
We do not expect
Diverse countries to share the same cultures traditions or even systems of government
But we do expect all nations to uphold these two core sovereign duties
To respect the interests of their own people and the rights of every other
sovereign nation
this is the beautiful vision of this institution, and this is the foundation for cooperation and
success
strong sovereign nations let diverse countries with different values different cultures and different
Dreams not just coexist
but works
side-by-side on the basis of mutual respect
Strong sovereign nations let their people take ownership of the future and control
their own destiny and
strong sovereign nations allow individuals to flourish in the fullness of the life
intended by God
in
America we do not seek to impose
Our way of life on any one, but rather to let it shine as an example
for everyone to watch
This week gives our country a special reason to take pride in that example
We are celebrating the two hundred and thirtieth anniversary of our beloved Constitution
The oldest constitution still in use in the world today
This timeless document has been the foundation of peace
prosperity and freedom for the Americans and
For countless millions around the globe whose own countries have found inspiration in
Its respect for human nature human dignity and the rule of law
The greatest in the United States Constitution is its first three
beautiful words
They are We the People
Generations of Americans have sacrificed
to maintain the promise of those words the promise of our country and of our
great history in
America the people govern the people rule and the people are sovereign I
Was elected not to take power but to give power to the American people where it belongs in
Foreign affairs. We are renewing this founding principle of sovereignty our
Governments first duty is to its people to our
citizens to serve their needs to ensure their safety to preserve their rights and to
defend their values as
President of the United States, I will always put America first
Just like you as the leaders of your countries will always and should always
Put your country's first
All
Responsible leaders have an obligation to serve their own citizens
And the nation-state remains the best vehicle for elevating the human condition
But making a better life for our people also
requires us to work together in close harmony and unity to create a more safe and
peaceful future for all people the United States will forever be a great friend to the world and
especially to its allies
But we can no longer be taken advantage of or enter into a one-sided deal
where the United States gets nothing in return as
Long as I hold this office
I will defend America's interests above all else
But in fulfilling our obligations to our own nations
We also realize that it's in everyone's interest to seek a future where all nations can be sovereign
prosperous and secure
America does more than speak for the values expressed in the United Nations Charter
Our citizens have paid the ultimate price
To defend our freedom and the freedom of many nations
represented in this Great Hall
America's devotion is measured on the battlefields where our young men and women have fought and sacrificed
alongside of our allies
From the beaches of Europe to the deserts of the Middle East to the jungles of Asia
It is an eternal credit to the American character that even after we and our allies
Emerged victorious from the bloodiest war in history
We did not seek
territorial expansion or
Attempt to oppose and impose our way of life on others
Instead we helped build institutions such as this one to defend the Rinty
Security and Prosperity for all
for the diverse nations of the world
This is our hope
We want harmony and friendship
not conflict and strife
We are guided by outcomes not ideology
We have a policy of
principled realism rooted in shared goals
interests and values
that realism forces us to confront a question facing every leader and
Nation in this room. It is a question. We cannot escape or avoid
We will slide down the path of complacency numb to the challenges threats and even wars
That we face
or
Do we have enough strength and pride to confront those dangers today?
So that our citizens can enjoy peace and prosperity
tomorrow if
We desire to lift up our citizens if we aspire
to the approval of history
Then we must fulfill our sovereign duties to the people we faithfully
Represent we must protect our nation's their interests and their futures we must reject
threats to sovereignty from the Ukraine to the South, China Sea
We must uphold respect for law
respect for borders and respect for culture and the peaceful
engagement these allow and
Just as the founders of this body intended. We must work together and
confront together
those who threaten us with chaos
turmoil and terror
The scourge of our planet today is a small group of rogue regimes
That violate every principle on which the United Nations is based
They respect neither their own citizens nor the sovereign rights of their countries
If the righteous many do not confront
The wicked few then evil will triumph
When decent people and nations become bystanders to history the?
forces of destruction only gather power and strength
No one has shown more contempt for other nations and for the well-being of their own people
Than the depraved regime in North Korea it is
responsible for the starvation deaths of millions of North Koreans and
for the imprisonment torture killing and oppression of
countless more
We were all witness to the regime's deadly abuse
when an innocent American
college student otto warmbier
was returned to america only to die a
few days later
we saw it in the
assassination of the dictators brother using banned nerve agents in an international airport
We know it kidnapped a sweet
13 year old japanese girl from a beach in her own country to enslave her as a
language to
