Trump hits at globalism, embraces nationalism at UN

By Michael Hernandez

WASHINGTON (AA) - U.S. President Donald Trump struck out Tuesday against globalism, maintaining that the world would be better off if nations pursued their own self-interest while at the same time calling for a united front against Iran.

Trump told world leaders that they must embrace nationalism because "the truth is plain to see."

"The future does not belong to globalists. The future belongs to patriots. The future belongs to sovereign and independent nations,” Trump said during the 74th General Assembly at the UN's New York headquarters.
