• Trump threatens new tariffs on Russia over Ukraine war
  • US president lectures world leaders on migration, climate change
  • Calls climate change a con job

UNITED NATIONS, Sept 23 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump argued for lower levels of global migration and urged a turn away from climate change policies on Tuesday in a combative, wide-ranging speech to the U.N. General Assembly that leveled scathing criticism of world leaders.

The 56-minute speech was a rebuke to the world body and a return to form for Trump, who routinely bashed the U.N. during his first term as president. Leaders gave him polite applause when he exited the chamber.

    Just your daily reminder that there are a lot more countries than just the United States in America

      Fucking look around. I swear Americans think what’s happening inside is on the same level as elsewhere.

      Fuck America, fuck Russia, you sound and NOW ACT exactly the same.

      The DEFAULT American now is the same as ones first thought of a 1930s German.

        Someone missed the point to go on an anti US rant.

        The guy above you was saying that you should say US not America. America ambiguously refers to North and South America

          I’ll acknowledge that but nobody on this continent thinks that way.

          The USA appropriated “America” decades ago, and it’s the common usage.

          Arguing that the hemisphere is America in a comment about fascist USA is nitpicking at best.

            Virtually every other country on both American continents, with the exception of Canada and a few French speaking countries, call people from the US “Estadounidense”, or similar, which literally means United Statesians. Only in the English and French speaking realms are people from the US called Americans. And there are way more Spanish and Portuguese speakers than there are English and French speakers in all of the Americas
