INTERVIEW – DR. SEBASTIAN GORKA – FOX News National Security Strategist, author of new book “Why We Fight” (to be published October 2018) and Fmr deputy assistant to President Donald Trump @SebGorka – previewed President Trump’s UN speech today.
- What to expect from Donald Trump’s speech at the United Nations general assembly… SOVEREIGNTY, DOMESTIC ACCOMPLISHMENTS, IRAN, NORTH KOREA, SYRIA, YEMEN, VENEZUELA
- Trump’s address to the General Assembly comes Tuesday, and on Wednesday he will for the first time chair the Security Council, with the stated topic of non-proliferation of nuclear, chemical and biological weapons. The subject initially was to have been Iran, but that could have allowed Iranian President Hassan Rouhani to attend, creating a potentially awkward situation for the U.S. leader. Aides say the president will also use the session to discuss North Korea and other proliferation issues. While Trump is not seeking a meeting with Rouhani, he is open to talking with the Iranian leader if Rouhani requests one, administration officials said. In meetings with European leaders as well as during the Security Council session, Trump plans to try to make the case that global companies are cutting ties with Iran ahead of the reimposition in five weeks of tough sanctions against Tehran. The penalties are a result of Trump’s decision to withdraw the U.S. from the 2015 Iran nuclear deal.
