UNITED NATIONS: US President Donald Trump on Tuesday said the United States witnessed massive changes since he assumed the office for this second term and he deserved the Nobel Peace Prize for the efforts he made for a peaceful world.
The US would continue playing its role for a peaceful world, Trump said during his address at the UN General Assembly, adding, “I have ended seven wars.”
He asked “what is the purpose” of United Nations and blasted the world organisation over the failure to ensure peace, saying he saved thousands of lives by ending these wars, including the one between Pakistan and India.
The United Nations did not nothing to stop the wars and didn’t even made a call to him for the purpose, the US president complained.
In a sarcasm-laden broadside against the United Nations, he said the institution does not help peace and mocked the quality of the headquarters building.
“The UN has such tremendous potential. I’ve always said it — it has such tremendous, tremendous potential. But it’s not even coming close to living up to it,” Trump said and complained about a broken escalator at the New York headquarters.
At the same time, Trump vowed that the US would protect its sovereignty and interests forcefully as he mentioned that his country had the most powerful military in the world.
On the other hand, he said “nuclear weapons pose a great danger” and that “Iran can never nuclear weapon”.
