Trump rejects globalism, touts 'doctrine of patriotism' at UN General Assembly

Promoting his aggressive "America First" agenda, U.S. President Donald Trump delivered a sharp rebuke of global governance at the United Nations on Tuesday.

Trump arrived late, forcing a last-minute scheduling switch, then received polite applause but also blank stares as he took his blustery brand of policies to the annual General Assembly.

Speaking in triumphal terms, Trump approached the address as an annual report to the world on his country's progress since his inauguration. He touted economic figures, declared that the U.S. military is "more powerful than it has ever been before," and crowed that in "less than two years, my administration has accomplished more than almost any administration in the history of our country."
