Comments by "Hugh Jorgan" (@HughJorgan1) on "Full Speech: Trump at the UN general assembly - BBC News" video.

  1. Trump did an excellent job with the speech. He put America first but also showed great leadership on global issues. I particularly liked the following quotes: 1. "The United States will honor the right of every nation in this room to pursue its own customs, beliefs, and traditions. The United States will not tell you how to live or work or worship. We only ask that you honor our sovereignty in return." 2. "With support from many countries here today, we have engaged with North Korea to replace the specter of conflict with a bold and new push for peace." 3. "The sanctions against North Korea will stay in place until denuclearization occurs. 4. "A special thanks to President Moon of South Korea, Prime Minister Abe of Japan, and President Xi of China." 5. "Following my trip to Saudi Arabia last year, the Gulf countries opened a new center to target terrorist financing. They are enforcing new sanctions, working with us to identify and track terrorist networks, and taking more responsibility for fighting terrorism and extremism in their own region." 6. "Thanks to the United States military and our partnership with many of your nations, I am pleased to report that the bloodthirsty killers known as ISIS have been driven out from the territory they once held in Iraq and Syria." 7. "As we see in Jordan, the most compassionate policy is to place refugees as close to their homes as possible to ease their eventual return to be part of the rebuilding process." 8. "We cannot allow the world’s leading sponsor of terrorism (Iran) to possess the planet’s most dangerous weapons. We cannot allow a regime that chants “Death to America,” and that threatens Israel with annihilation, to possess the means to deliver a nuclear warhead to any city on Earth. Just can't do it." 9. "The United States lost over 3 million manufacturing jobs, nearly a quarter of all steel jobs, and 60,000 factories after China joined the WTO. And we have racked up $13 trillion in trade deficits over the last two decades. But those days are over. We will no longer tolerate such abuse."
