7:53Now PlayingPresident Donald Trump assailed the United Nations and other countries in a grievance-laden speech that saw him accuse the world body of offering nothing but “empty words,” label climate change a “con job” and warn that open borders are destroying them.
Setting aside calls for unity, Trump began his speech to the UN General Assembly by venting his frustration that the UN hadn’t done more to support his diplomatic efforts. He faulted the organization over an escalator that broke down just as First Lady Melania Trump stepped onto it, said his teleprompter was also malfunctioning and ruminated on a two-decade-old grudge over his rejected bid to renovate the UN headquarters. His closing message swept aside some of the UN’s most cherished files: climate change, which Trump repeatedly called a hoax, and uncontrolled migration, which he declared the top political issue of the era. Peter Tchir, Head of Macro Strategy at Academy Securities & Major General (Ret.) Mastin Robeson, Academy Geopolitical Intelligence Advisor, join Bloomberg Businessweek Daily to discuss the UN and America's role in the current geopolitical climate, the US investment backdrop and the state of US exceptionalism, and more. They speak with Carol Massar and Tim Stenovec.
