‘AMERICA FIRST’ RECAST AS U.S. SOVEREIGNTY: When President Trump addresses the  73rd session of the United Nations General Assembly at 10:15 a.m. he will once again advocate for putting the interests of America first, but like his address last year the key buzzword will be “sovereignty.” In last year’s address to the world body, his first as president, Trump referred to “sovereign” or “sovereignty” almost two dozen times.

“Whether it’s security issues, economic issues, human rights or anything else, the president’s asking for countries to exert their sovereignty to solve challenges,” said national security adviser John Bolton yesterday in New York, who said the theme is more than just an abstract concept.
