U.S. President Donald Trump speaks at the United Nations Headquarters in New York.
Trump has long opposed globalism and criticized the multilateralism that is the foundation of the United Nations. However, as the leader of the country that hosts the world body, Trump is obligated to attend and speak to the U.N.'s General Assembly every year, which he did for the third time on Tuesday.
"If you want freedom, take pride in your country. If you want democracy, hold on to your sovereignty. If you want peace, love your nation," Trump in his address.
He had harsh words concerning Iran, saying all nations have a duty act to against the Islamic Republic. "No responsible government should subsidize Iran's bloodlust," he said.
In a joint statement issued Monday, Britain, France and Germany declared that Iran is responsible for recent attacks on Saudi oil facilities. They join the United States, which has instituted new economic sanctions against Iran in response to the attacks.
Iran has denied responsibility, and on Monday Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif called on European signatories to the 2015 agreement regarding Iran's nuclear program to forge an "independent path" from the United States and help Iran work around U.S. sanctions.
