| 2018-09-24 |
| [PRESSTV] US President Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... ’s recent criticism of the United Nations ...an organization which on balance has done more bad than good, with the good not done well and the bad done thoroughly... is not surprising because he represents the view that the world body must serve US foreign policy, says an analyst in Virginia. Keith Preston, editor of the Attackthesystem.org made the remarks on Sunday, after Trump criticized the UN ahead of his address to the annual gathering of world leaders at the General Assembly next week. In a video message on his Twitter page, Trump said Saturday that the UN has "tremendous potential" but has "not lived up to that potential." Trump is set to address the General Assembly on Tuesday. He will also hold meetings with heads of South Korea, Egypt, La Belle France, Japan and the United Kingdom. Trump has frequently criticized the UN, claiming that the United States does not get the respect it deserves despite its contributions to the world body ‐ currently at 22 percent of the annual budget. "The first thing that as to be understood about the United Nations is that the UN was created in the late 1940s after the conclusion of the World War II and essentially it was a way for the victorious allied forces at WWII to run the world in their own interest," Preston told Press TV on Sunday. "That has always been the principle purpose of the United Nations," he added. |
