-- contributions to the united nations. this is in line with the governance of the new administration. people come first. it is the slogan i have used for several years and to express my political philosophy. the people are at the center of all policies of my administration. as of now, my administration is pursuing bold measures to change the current paradigm to deal with economic inequality that stand in the way of growth and social cohesion. we are now pursuing economic policy is focusing on the income growth of individuals and households. in promoting an economy or the growth is led by job creations and all people can enjoy equal opportunities and the fruit of growth. this is what we call a people centered economy. my administration is determined growth will not be confined to our country. in accordance with this new paradigm, the republic of korea will lend support for sustainable growth in developing countries. mr. president, secretary general and representatives from around the world, i was born in the refuge town in

president trump just arrived at the united nations. he will make his first speech to the general assembly. the white house says his speech will lay out his america first view of foreign policy. >> he's expected to tell other leaders at the annual u.n. meeting that their countries need to do more to address the world's challenges. the president is likely to highlight countries like north korea and iran that he says are the greatest threat and there you see the president walking in the door. he may have something to say about the u.n. itself. which he repeatedly criticized while he was running for the presidency. we'll bring you the president trump speech as soon as he begins. first let's go to margaret brennanout side the u.n. in new york. margaret, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, well, addressing this group leader of 200 nations or so is a milestone for any president, particularly for this one, though, because president trump as a candidate ran on this nationalist message, america first was his mantra. taking more responsibili

states within the united nations and what donald trump believes the united nations should be doing any closed out his speech with that as well but it was the things in the middle of the talk about north korea the talk about iran about terrorism which i'm sure will get everyone talking let's start with james spays who is following events with us from the united nations james let's deal with this bit by bit i think north korea has to be the first thing. i think north korea very much will be the center of this speech when people look at it i don't think many people have heard a speech like that from a u.s. president in this setting perhaps we never heard a speech like that in fact at the u.n. general assembly because we were all listening the al-jazeera team to that speech and when the mention of north korea came there was an order bull guard you heard there the president of a country threatening in the u.n. general assembly to totally destroy another country and that president was the president of the united states the strongest language you could possibly have in a speech like this so t

that's what the united nations is all about; that's what the united nations is for. let's see how they do. it is time for north korea to realize that the denuclearization is its only acceptable future. the united nations security council recently held two unanimous 15-0 votes adopting hard-hitting resolutions against north korea, and i want to thank china and russia for joining the vote to impose sanctions, along with all of the other members of the security council. thank you to all involved. but we must do much more. it is time for all nations to work together to isolate the kim regime until it ceases its hostile behavior. we face this decision not only in north korea. it is far past time for the nations of the world to confront another reckless regime -- one that speaks openly of mass murder, vowing death to america, destruction to israel, and ruin for many leaders and nations in this room. the iranian government masks a corrupt dictatorship behind the false guise of a democracy. it has turned a wealthy country with a rich history and culture into an economically

stopped you know how it ended up being us and this is what the united states wants for the united nations and here's what it's for the united nations since the end of the cold us to rubberstamp because they're at the united nations since their existence and actually it was founded during cold war two and it was placed in a. sea of the one hundred forty two and then found it in the last stages so during the last eight years world war two to two minute there and to preserve the post work peace between the new superpowers and the when the cold war ended in one thousand eight hundred nine one thousand nine hundred. the united states becoming the sole superpower and assuming great sizzix you know this one. world policeman we can say it's religious may think it was a privilege ok now they feel it and then they felt it would be will be forever it will be it will last forever just as me and parish think and it never happens nothing is forever in the world history and the united nations for them became some think of we you know something that prohibited them from anything here in the here yes they

of the united nations well our u.n. correspondent roslyn jordan joins us live now from the headquarters in new york so i mean do we see this says really the president changing his human over the u.n. . well certainly you may be seeing barbara is the fact that the u.s. ambassador to the u.n. nikki haley has made reform of the institution as much her platform as the president's platform and certainly by working with someone who himself campaigned for the job as wanting to reform and refine the work of the year when she found common cause with antonio good terrorists they are said to have a very close and warm working relationship and so it is entirely possible that she has been able to make an appeal on behalf of the un's validity and usefulness to the president now of course what needs to change according to some analysts is the funding that the u.s. wants to contribute to the united nations it's the single largest style funder both of its basic operations as well as to the peacekeeping operations and they're so far they

of the united nations. and more than one hundred world leaders are currently in new york for the u.n. general assembly the second let's take a look now at some of those main topics that they'll be discussing first and foremost there are the nuclear issues posed by both north korea and iran many a urging for a diplomatic solution to pyongyang's continued threats then there is a feature of the contentious iran nuclear deal. the refugees who are also the focus of last year's now the with the ongoing humanitarian situation of the road from me in mar this refugee crisis will still be a major talking point and there are the ongoing wars in syria iraq yemen as well as libya and also the chronic problem of sexual abuse by u.n. peacekeepers something that the u.n. chief says must be eradicated now in his first bilateral meeting donald trump met with israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu and they discussed the stalled middle east peace process as well as the iran nuclear deal our u.n. correspondent rose and jord

that's what the united nations is all about. that's what the united nations is for. let's see how they do. it is time for north korea to realize that the denuclearization is is only acceptable future. -- united states and nations how they follow -- a vote held sanctions against north korea and i want to thank china and russia for joining the vote to impose sanctions along with the other members of the security council. thank you to all involved. but we must do much more. it is time for all nations to work together to isolate the kim regime until it ceases its hostile behavior >> it is far past time for the nations of the world to confront another reckless regime, one that speaks openly of mass following death to america, distortion to israel and ruined for many leaders in this room, the iranian government masks a corrupt dictatorship behind the guise of a democracy. it following death to america, distortion to has turny with a rich history and culture and to an economically depleted rogue state whose chief exports are violence, blood shed and , the longest suffering

that is what the united nations is all about. that is what the united nations is for. let's see how they do. it is time for north korea to realise that the denuclearisation is it only a cce pta ble denuclearisation is it only acceptable future. the united nations security council recently held two unanimous 15—0 boats adopting hard—hitting resolutions against north korea and i want to thank china and russia forjoining the vote impose sanctions along with the vote impose sanctions along with the other members of the security council. thank you to all involved. but we must do much more. it is time for all nations to work together to isolate the kim jong—un regime until it ceases its hostile behaviour. we face this decision not only in north korea, it is far past time for the nations of the world to confront another reckless regime, that speaks openly of mass murder, bowing deftly america, destruction to israel, and ruinfor many america, destruction to israel, and ruin for many leaders are nations in this room. the iranian government masks dictatorships —— a dic

we the people in the united nations face great challenges. our world is in trouble. people are hurting and angry. they see insecurity rising come and equality growing, conflict spreading, and climate changing. the global economy is increasingly integrated, but our sense of global community may be disintegrating. societies are fragmented, political discourse is polarized, and trust within and among countries is being driven down by those who demonize and divide. we are a world in pieces. we need to be a world at peace. i strongly believe that together we can build piece. we can restore trust and create a better world for all. excellencies, i will focus today on seven tests that stand in our way. for each, the dangers are all too clear, yet for each, if we act as truly united nations, we can find answers. first the nuclear peril. the use of nuclear weapons should be unthinkable. even the threat of their use can never be condoned, but today global anxieties about nuclear weapons are at the highest level since the end of the cold war. the fear is not abstract. millions o

funding to the united nations the u.s. is of course the largest government contributor but it really does remain to see be seen whether or not the kinds of reforms that antoni a good tries to carry out during his tenure will meet with the u.s. is approval of course the u.s. could be seen as a first among equals here at the united nations but they were very complimentary comments coming from donald trump here on monday separately haring that president holding a bilateral meeting with israel's prime minister right now i think. that's right that meeting should have gotten underway in the past couple of minutes or so between the u.s. president and the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu obviously they will have many things to discuss the ongoing efforts to restart the peace talks between the israelis and the palestinians the matter of trying to deal with what israel has called terrorist attacks against its own people the issue of the civil war next door inside syria as well as questions of why. whether the u.s. should be

neither of those things are seen very often at the united nation united nations. i think the president proved today that he can hit the right tones, understanding both the seriousness and of a threat, not only to the united states but also to civilized nations around the world, the behavior like rogue nations like north korea. the bottom line is, there is no question as to where president trump stands today, i think he showed the ability to deploy both strength and nuance, which is exactly the right tone to hit in front of the general assembly today. >> julie: rocket man on a suicide mission, not only for himself but for his regime. how do you think foreign leaders receive the president's rhetoric today? >> juvenile. i think calling terrorists losers and calling another leader as much as you despise them rocket man, just look loot the stone-faced diplomats he was facing. this is not a rally, this is not his base and in the beginning i think he saw a bit of discomfort with the president who fortunately did not go off script and embarrass us. i would have to say i a

egypt we adamantly believe in the values of the united nations and the purposes of its charter. we have great confidence that realizing these values is not only possible but rather an obligation and a necessity. egypt's long-standing involvement with the u.n. growth as a founding member of the united nations that has been elected to the security council six times in the seventh largest contributor to peacekeeping operations worldwide this involvement bears witness to our to build a world that is worthy of the aspirations of our children and grandchildren to live in freedom. dignity, security and prosperity. however, the responsibility that we bear necessitates that we crank in saying that this world is possible which still remains unfortunately far from reality. we are still unable to present -- prevent armed conflict or confront terrorism. or disarm nuclear weapons and address the structural imbalance is in the international economic order which have widened the gap developed and developing worlds. based on the experiences of the african and arab regions i can state with a clea

-- the united nations development agenda. and the paris agreement on climate change and all other treaties and conventions that we have exceeded two. -- acceded to. anything that we have acceded to an adopted, we are part of this international community. willtate of palestine reflect on these imperatives and draft resolutions. as appropriate to be represented to the united nations general assembly, we call upon you, all of you, to vote in favor of these resolutions with the clear aim of preserving the two state solution and salvaging and promoting the chances for achieving peace, and to achieve prosperity for the israelis and palestinians alike, and the peoples of the region at large. in closing, allow me, ladies and , to salute our great people who remain steadfast in their homeland. despite the suffering, those who are struggling against foreign occupation peacefully. case isure of prevailing among palestinians. among all palestinians. who joinhose people esh, isil? join da none of them are from palestine. one of the most b

out of the united nations, out of nato. russia is running this country through donald trump and is poorly educated followers. to victoria,o republican line, ohio. good morning. excuse me. first of all, i agree with the guys from arizona and california -- first of all, he was not speaking in georgia, he was not speaking in d.c. or chicago, he was speaking at the united nations. he was standing up for this country. the united nations has been an appeasement and a joke for a long, long time. speech -- the israeli guide, netanyahu, he said it was courageous. he is defending our country and talking to the united nations, and talking to them to get them -- north korean -- first of all, if you had planes flying over you, those missiles, like japan does, those people that have called today would have a very different tone. thank you very much. host: the website politico highlights a story they have posted, taking a look at that travel habits of health and human services director tom price. a stark departure from his predecessors, t

this is his first speech with the the united nations. at large, with the speech he speaking to them. it is a high-profile address on his part. i think he wants to show that he is part of the international community to some degree. if people have suspicions, other countries and other leaders have suspicions about whether he wants to go it alone or what "america first" means, he can put those qualms to rest. >> shepard: allowed reporting on how much help russia could be on the notion of north korea. are there any indications he will meet with any other leaders while in this forum with that goal in mind? >> russia is not going to be there nor is china, nor is germany. that is one issue. he has a complicated relationship with russia in vladimir putin. it is not clear how russia figures into the jigsaw puzzle. obviously, he would love to get russia support in bringing about more pressure on north korea and iran if possible. i imagine in the talks that he has come up he will try to drum up support. >> shepard: peter nicholas from "the wall str

it's the united nations after all. but you heard presidents in the past say look, we have the capacity to do what we need to do if north korea attacks one of our allies. what wasn't said was the president, what do we do next with north korea? the chinese diplomats in town, some of whom i spoke with yesterday, a military action has incredible consequence. not just to the united states and north korea but for south korean, the american allies in the region. i'm already hearing from plenty of south korean conservatives that say we need nuclear weapons. is that what the president wishes to encourage or does he have another plan? are there other negotiations he's willing to enter into as the chinese are suggesting he should. is he willing to do that? that we didn't hear. >> shepard: thanks, john. now more on hurricane maria. a deadly storm as it heads to puerto rico and the u.s. virgin islands. people on the french idea of guadalupe say one is dead. two missing. forecasters say hurricane maria is a catastrophic category fiv

>> you make -- the united nations' for happy tripping. while we like peaceful things, discrete counsel involved includes hard policy and the international level. the united nations is not the answer to north korea. china is the answer to north korea. what happens in new york will include side conversations with a resolution on the floor. >> harris: bring it up because ambassador nikki haley says we are at a point where we will not be able to use diplomacy to avoid war. it is a fair question, and a fair observation on her part. >> i agree, 100%. >> harris: chris stirewalt. the stire is on fire. before the day of protesting and st. louis after vinyl we can 80 people arrested after a white police officer in the death of a black man. that situation is getting worse when writers through concrete at officers breaking storefront windows. will carr is there. will? >> the damage is widespread. over the past three nights, three separate parts of the city had been hit, including downtown. this may also this may also line, they came in and kicked in

or bigger, a better united nations. an organization with the trust to deliver on its mandate to promote peace and human rights. over the past eight months, he has been a partner and has become a friend. his leadership brings us to get. ladies and gentlemen, secretary-general antonio guterres. [applause] gen. guterres: mr. trump, thank you for those kind words your support. someone recently asked, what keeps me up at night. my answer was simple, bureaucracy. fragmented structures, byzantine procedures, and endless red tape. have come up not with a better way to do it than by imposing some of the rules we have created ourselves. i asked myself if there were a conspiracy to make our rules exactly what they need to be to make us an effective. let us -- ineffective. let us never forget that we are here to serve, to serve the people suffering and poverty and exclusion, people victimized by conflict. people whose rights ended dignity are being denied. reform is for them. reform is also for the hard-working taxpayers. reform is

diplomats will wary about this transfer strip to the united nations as president. trump has railed against the u.n. many times in the past suggesting it's inefficient and bloated at times this transactional america first president that seemed to question the entire international system that's existed since the un was set up at the end of world war two ahead of the meeting there was some unease about what this unpredictable president might say but he only seemed concerned about how the microphones worked as written with its own result. when trump finally spoke there would have been a big sigh of relief felt across the united nations he now seems to be a fan of the organization. mr secretary general of the united states and the member states presenter support this great reform vision we pledge to be partners in your work and i am confident that if we work together and champion truly baldry forms the united nations will emerge as a stronger more effective more just and greater force for peace and harmony in the world so instead of declaring war on the un trump seems a

the united nations great. >> the united nations has not reached full potential because of bureaucracy and mismanagement. we encourage the secretary-general to use his authority to cut through this and make firm decisions to advance the core mission. secretary-general has been an improbable ally. the former socialist prime minister of portugal spoke the same language as the billionaire president. onour objective focuses more people and less on process. we are advancing shared values as our common goal. >> the u.n. -- the u.s. is the biggest funding of peacekeeping missions, like this one in congo. the administration has/the budget. the u.n. had feared more savage cuts. >> many were terrified the donald trump would destroy the institution that the united states did so much to create. this president realized he onded the united nations issues like north korea and has not posed the existential threat to this body that many had feared. donald trump is engaged in a diplomatic speed dating this week. for hisbe center stage first address to the general assembly. officials say he will hug the

all the member states of the united nations those who have recognized. israel. they should state that they are most israel on the basis of their nine hundred sixty seven borders aligning themselves with international resolutions and the affirming their commitment to these. even those. israel on the basis of one to one and one into one was violated allow me to ask the question. all right so we've been listening to the palestinian president mahmoud abbas addressing the united nations general assembly in new york we have heard him outlining his vision for peace essentially calling for an end to the occupation decrying that the missed opportunities and the failed initiatives of the past and speaking about the obstacles or the possibility of any negotiations taking place right now so let's speak to our diplomatic editor james bays who has been listening into all of this and we hope president abbas speaking there about his hopes the building a genuine comprehensive political process but also expressing deep frustration with both the. the international community and th

with but also for of united nations. we understand the importance of having a united nations that is is always and reform a necessity. institutions always need to be their functionality and ideally reducing their costs. i'm sure that is being considered. shery: we also have to talk about tax reforms. has is one thing the oecd been working with. you published annual research on tax reforms carried out. based on 2016 reforms implemented so it wouldn't really apply to president trump's presidency. given what you have seen from the u.s. where does it stand? >> it wouldn't apply anyway because nothing has happened in the u.s.. have been statements. there have been comments and secretary mnuchin said in the next few weeks a few weeks ago he would give out the details of the proposed tax reform. so we are expecting. the market has reacted very positively so far and it has been doing that for a few months now. if you put together the elements rates, weion in the have been saying the united states has to reduce its tax rates. the

the united nations was founded on truly noble goals. these include affirming the dignity and worth of the human person, and striving for international peace. the united nations has self-advanced toward these goals in so many ways. feeding the hungry, providing disaster relief, and empowering women and girls in many societies all across the world. yet in recent years, the united nations has not reached its full potential because of bureaucracy and management. while the united nations, on a regular budget, has increased by 140%, and its staff more than doubled since 2000. we are now seeing the results in line with this investment. but i know that under the secretary general, that's changing, and it's changing fast. we've seen it. that's why we commend the secretary general and his call for the united nations to focus more on people and less on bureaucracy. we seek a united nations that regains the trust of the people around the world in order to achieve this, the united nations must hold every level of management accountable, protect whis

that could meet the united nations target. so, as you see, turkey is working really hard to word a -- toward a sustainable world, which is the main message of this general assembly. and we will continue in the , coming days with the same consideration in mind. honorable mr. president, esteemed delegates, turkey is engaged in an intensive fight against the bloody terrorist organizations of the region such as daesh and the pkk, nourished by the instability in syria and iraq. additionally, our fight against the terrorist organizations which attempted to change the legitimate and democratic regime of turkey by a bloody coup is also ongoing. we have recovered 243 residential areas, in land larger than 2000 square kilometers, thanks to the euphrates shield initiated in syria following the attacks on our borders. daesh. we have neutralized 3000 daesh militants during that operation. around 100,000 syrians returned to and resettled in the region that we cleaned up from the terrorists. the operation euphrates shield is the single great

because only together as united nations. the promise of the charter and the human dignity for all thank you. mercy mercy. that was good terraces first speech as secretary general passionate as we expected it to be and that ran for a good fifteen minutes or so he touched on many issues obviously and really it is a world going through many issues facing many of them together in our concerns about nuclear weapons he said they are at their highest levels he spoke about a solution north korea's it must be political he said this is a time for statement ship must not sleep walk away into war he spoke about the counter-terrorism office that has been opened another passionate topic of his the humanitarian issues and obviously touched on what we've been seeing unfolding from me and mine in the rakhine state of affecting the muslims there he also spoke about the environment saying that it's high time to get off the path of suicidal emissions and he said he is committed to the reform of the united nations he said the world is in pieces

nations and yet despite our best efforts we as nations and as a united nations have not found the ways or the means to truly take on this threat and that is why today as i talk about u.n. reform i ask the secretary general to make this fight against terrorists and the ideologies that drive them a core part of his agenda at the heart of our development peacebuilding and conflict prevention work and to give this effort the prominence it surely requires i'm calling on the secretary general to make this is a theme of next year's general assembly and use this to harness the efforts of governments the private sector and civil society so that we can truly strike the generational blow against this vile evil in our world. and as we do so we must clearly strike a balance between protecting our people and protecting their freedoms and we must always guard against those who would use the fight against terrorism as a cover for oppression and the violation of human rights so i was listening there to british prime minister to resume a addressing the united nations general assembly of course she's got

let's drain the swamp at the united nations. joining me now to respond, the spokesperson for the united nations sector general. i do appreciate you coming on to talk about this. i just wanted to start they really trying to get an understanding of how careful the united nations and its people are with public money, and what they do with that money. i tried to find on united nations website, some kind of indication of what jobs people do, what they're paid, i couldn't find that anywhere. can i start with you? what are you paid. >> sure. first of all, thank you, it was quite a welcome you gave me. the scale of every staff member at the united nations is available for anyone with google on the international civil servants website. it's like any public service, united states or anywhere in europe, every public servant has a grade and is paid. the secretary general is extremely careful with the money that is given to the united nations, since he started office, one of his first actions was to put in place and accrued whistleblower pol

that's what the united nations is all about. that's what the united nations is for. let's see how they do. it is time for north korea, to realize, that the denuclearization is its only acceptable the united nations security councilre recenfutlytu held. tw unanimous, 15-0 votes, adoptinga against north korea, and i want to thank china, and rur, ssfo i sanctions along with all of the other members of the security council. thank you to all of involved. but we must do much more. it is time for all nations to work together to isolate the kim regime until it ceases its hostile behavior. we face this decision not only in north korea, it is far pastime for the nations of the world to confront another reckless regime. one that speaks openly of mass murder, vowing death to america, destruction to israel, and ruin for many leade and nations, in the iranian government, masks a corrupt dictatorship behind the false guise of a democracy. ned a wealthy country,ur t itwith a r hich history and cul, into an economically depleted rogue state whose chief exports are violence, bloodshed

pays too much to the united nations. and this week will be a wonderful opportunity to work with other countries to try to negotiate a fair share for everybody. >> part of this, nancy, are the pull-asides, right, the meetings, right, the bilaterals. one of those will be with the leader of south korea, president moon, which we understand based on a tweet with the president, he had a conversation over this weekend with the president of south korea. how important are these pull-asides, these bilaterals that are going to be happening? what are you hearing is going to be happening? >> the pull-asides are the most important part of this meeting. as peter said, the reform and all of those issues, every president does that with mixed success. it's a difficult thing to achieve, although very important. but this is going to be the first time you have a reality show going on at the united nations. all eyes are going to be on donald trump. everyone's going to be trying to see him. and they're waiting for a big message. is he going to

of the united nations. you can bet the president will talk, hit on some big themes that he wants talked about by the 192 member nations. north korea, iran, and terrorism. >> bret: john roberts live in new york. we will have a full wrap up at the top of 6:00 p.m. the u.s. showed a force. on the korean peninsula. senior correspondent eric shawn reports from the united nations. >> president trump is expected to rally the world body against the north korean regime and u.s.-led effort to try to pressure pyongyang to give up its nuclear program and stop its missile launches. so far, nine united nations security council resolutions over 11 years have failed to deter kim's class, prompting nikki haley to say the council is running out of other options. hailey's former communications director. >> the president is going to talk about the world being united against north korea's posture right now. the need for kim jong un to stand down and stop trying to ratchet up the conflict with the united states. speak with the p

diplomats will wary about this trumps first trip to the united nations as president. or trump has railed against the u.n. many times in the past suggesting it's inefficient and bloated at times this transactional america first president would seem to question the entire international system this existence since the un was set up at the end of world war two ahead of the meeting there was some unease about what this unpredictable president might say but he only seemed concerned about how the microphones worked his way to the its own result. when trump finally spoke there would have been a big sigh of relief felt across the united nations he now seems to be a fan of the organization mr secretary general of the united states and the member states presenter their support. this great reform vision we pledge to be partners in your work and i am confident that if we work together and champion truly baldry forms the united nations will emerge as a stronger more effective more just and greater force for peace and harmony in the world so instead of declaring war on the un trump

his first meeting at the united nations. many things are happening in the region, four wars are on in syria and iraq, yemen and libya and great interest. for these leaders to meet with our president and then discuss what can be done in the region. >> shannon: there are things, of course, the president can bring to the table that i would think just about everybody who is part of this meeting can agree on. fighting terrorism. they may define it differently. there are common threads that the u.n. can be used for and used for good. how do you see the president addressing that particular issue with this body? >> he has a great historic opportunity to form larger coalitions that never existed before in the united nations. what we saw this morning was a formation thanks to ambassador haley as a coalition for reform. 120 countries signed. now the president on the issue of counter terrorism and specific issue of extremism he has an alignment of planets. he addressed 50 muslim and arab leaders and europe. if you do the count between 5

now trump's united nations debut comes amid controversy about the u.s. president's activity on social media trying straight up previously port accusations of behavior not befitting a head of state and in many cases contradicting official policy can be held to reports. yet another tweet an apparent poor taste this time from an account with a vulgar handle donald trump hitting former first lady hillary clinton in the back with a golf ball not unusual for social media but what about when it's read tweeted from a sitting president many say trumps latest display of inappropriate behavior raises questions about whether the u.s. president is promoting violence on social media in july he retreated a wrestling video doctored to appear he was body slamming his arch nemesis news network c.n.n. . even though he's said to have reined in his behavior in recent months trump remains known for pushing boundaries and bullying adversaries from the moment his political aspirations surfaced laurie. trumped the little his rivals in the primaries and won the republican nominat

is one of the main funders of the united nations. something that trump as a businessman of course is acutely aware of is the fact when you funds something you have extraordinary leverage over it. so the question becomes do the u.n.'s member nations think trump and ambassador haley from paper tigers when they make the threats? or do they actually take it seriously and change the way they relate to this international body. and of course it remains to be seen. it's something that will be looked at closely. charles: there is not a lot of love in the united states for the united nations when we are fronting 22% of the bill. we saw president trump with his brief hello, if you will to the u.n., i think he put down to some markers. he's going to be pretty tough on them tomorrow. >> he's right and this. he's a little less tough than was on the campaign trail where he said the u.n. was the enemy much freedom of and democracy. the united nations has gone way past its collective security rationale when it was first put in the 1940s. they are int

what the united nations is for. let's see how they do. it is time for north korea to realize that the de-nuclearization is its only acceptable future. the united nations security council recently held two unanimous 15-0 votes adopting hard-hitting resolutions against north korea and i want to thank china and russia for joining the vote to impose sanctions along with all of the other members of the security council thank you to all involved. but we must do much more it is time for all nations to isolate the kim regime until it ceases its hostile behavior. we face this decision not only in north korea, but it is far past time for the nations of the world to confront another reckless regime, one that speaks openly of mass murder, vowing death to america, destruction to israel, and ruin for many leaders and nations in this room the iranian government masks a corrupt dictatorship behind the false guise of a democracy it has turned a wealthy country with a rich history in culture into an economically depleted rogue state
