It was Donald Trump's fifth speech before the United Nations General Assembly.
It was also his most rambling.
For 55 minutes, the President of the United States riffed: on migration, windmills, hot air, London's mayor, offshore oil in Aberdeen, even the flooring and décor of UN headquarters. At one point, Trump told the assembled world leaders: "Your countries are going to hell!"
But was there a method to this madness? What can we discern about U.S. foreign policy and Trump's approach to the United Nations from this speech? Joining me for a timely conversation on these questions and more are Anjali Dayal and Maya Ungar—two seasoned UN watchers. Anjali Dayal, of course, is my To Save Us From Hell co-host and a professor of international relations at Fordham University. Maya Ungar is a UN analyst at the International Crisis Group.
We spoke just moments after Trump's speech concluded, beginning with our knee-jerk reactions to a very odd address before turning to a longer conversation about what Trump's UNGA remarks reveal about American foreign policy and its approach to the UN.
