Topic Reading-Vol.1990-9/22/2017

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.
