Netanyahu: Trump's UN Speech Was the Most Courageous in 30 Years




Katie Pavlich   "President Trump is receiving applause for his strong words at the United Nations Tuesday morning from foreign allies and Republicans alike. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who met with the president at the UN on Monday afternoon, is praising Trump's speech as the most courageous he's seen in 30 years.
 In over 30 years in my experience with the UN, I never heard a bolder or more courageous speech. — Benjamin Netanyahu (@netanyahu)
September 19, 2017 President Trump spoke the truth about the great dangers facing our world — Benjamin Netanyahu (@netanyahu)
September 19, 2017 and issued a powerful call to confront them in order to ensure the future of humanity. — "Benjamin Netanyahu (@netanyahu) September 19, 2017 

"In addition to meeting with Trump, Netanyahu also met with Egyptian President Abdel el-Sisi and a number of other world leaders. The meeting with el-Sisi was especially notable given the complicated politics of the Middle East. " . . .

Trump Hits Home Run for America in UN Speech   . . . "But the bottom line is that for the first time in years, an American president went before the UN and in plain words spelled out some vital truths about America, the UN, and the world. Whatever the UN General Assembly might make of it, once it recovers from the shock, that's a good thing for the world, and a very good thing for America."

National Review: "‘Holy Sh**’: Trump at the U.N."  . . . "All things considered and given the alternatives, it was a fine speech. It wasn’t really an “America First” speech — it defended the world order and even had warm words for the Marshall Plan — but in its signature lines about North Korea, it was thematically a very Jacksonian speech. What exactly this means in terms of policy remains to be seen. But everyone is paying attention, if they weren’t before."
