Dear MEL
Topic Readers,
Trump's first
UN speech met with criticism from some leaders
The annual
General Debate of the United Nations General Assembly is the occasion for world
leaders to gather at UN Headquarters in New York to discuss global issues. All 193
member states have equal representation and the leader or a representative of
each state has a chance to speak to the assembly for about 15 minutes. Since
the US usually has the fourth spot to speak after Brazil on the first day of
the assembly, the attendance and attention are both at the highest during the
entire session.
At the opening
of the annual general debate on September 19, 2017, the 45th president
of the United States of America, criticized a few member states with a harsh
tone in front of their representatives. Not only those that were assaulted
directly but also those who heard the most powerful leader in the world put
nationalism before the world peace and harmony at the UN assembly were stunned.
Enjoy reading
and watching the video, and think where this year’s assembly is going to go.
