During his first speech to the United Nations General Assembly, President Trump hit on the subject of globalization. Even though he didn’t explicitly state it, Trump did this in multiple ways. First, by simply addressing the many world leaders who were present and the aid they may have offered the United States of America to help relieve some of the effects of the multiple hurricanes that recently occurred in the states. Secondly, he was able to do this by presenting the perceived threats of terror that may affect the countries represented by the U.N. as well as those countries that aren’t necessarily part of this group. We see this when President Trump states, “Terrorists and extremists have gathered strength and spread to every region of the planet.

We must protect our nation 's, their interests, and their

    What happens on the deal revolves around Trump’s decision and his decision affects the image of the U.S. The author has also added that Trump uses “sovereignty as his guiding principle for international relations” (page 3). Meaning, Trump’s use of sovereign power would result in the unraveling of the limitations about nuclear arms in the realm of nuclear-armed countries. His political behaviour would cost the U.S.’s credibility and this will weaken the global political standing of the nation.
