President Trump scolded the United Nations on Tuesday for giving notorious human rights abusers a seat on its human rights council, describing the situation as a source of “embarrassment” for the decades-old institution.

In his address to the U.N. General Assembly, Trump told 193 partner countries “it is a massive source of embarrassment to the U.N. that some governments with egregious human rights records sit on the U.N. Human Rights Council.”
